say that again

I didn't hear

Say that again is a request for repetition, used when you didn't hear or understand something: Sorry, can you say that again?

It also expresses emphatic agreement—when someone states something you strongly endorse, you reply say that again to mean "exactly right" or "I couldn't agree more."
