Contexto cultural
In Kolkata, people might use 'Bujhlam na' more frequently in casual settings. There is a tendency to use more English loanwords, so you might hear 'Ami point-ta bujhte parini.' In Dhaka and other parts of Bangladesh, 'Bujhi nai' is extremely common and serves the same purpose as 'parini'. It is slightly more direct. The 'Bhadralok' (educated middle class) value indirectness. Saying 'I didn't understand' is often a polite way to say 'I think you are being unclear or illogical' without being rude. In formal seminars, speakers use 'Bodhogomyo hoyni' (It wasn't comprehensible). Using 'bujhte parini' marks you as a practical, modern speaker.
Add 'Thik'
Saying 'Ami **thik** bujhte parini' (I didn't **quite** understand) sounds very natural and polite.
Don't just say 'Ki?'
Saying 'Ki?' (What?) can sound rude. Always use 'Ami bujhte parini' for a better impression.
