معنی
Used when someone's point is unclear.
زمینه فرهنگی
In schools in Maharashtra, students are encouraged to say 'Mala samajla nahi' to show they are 'Jidnyasu' (curious). It is not seen as a lack of intelligence. In Pune's professional circles, being precise is valued. If you don't understand, it's better to say it immediately than to make a mistake later. In the fast-paced life of Mumbai, people might use the Hindi-influenced 'Samajh nahi aaya' even while speaking Marathi, but 'Mala samajla nahi' remains the respectful standard. In villages, people might use 'Umajla nahi' or 'Dhyanat nahi ala'. There is a high degree of patience for those who admit they don't understand.
Use with 'Kshama kara'
Adding 'Kshama kara' (Sorry) before the phrase makes it sound much more polite and less like you are blaming the speaker for being unclear.
Watch the Gender
If you are referring to a specific word, check its gender. 'Samajla' (Neut), 'Samajli' (Fem), 'Samajla' (Masc).

The 'Nahi' placement
Always keep 'Nahi' at the end. Putting it elsewhere will make you sound like a non-native speaker immediately.
Body Language
A small, polite nod while saying this shows you are still engaged in the conversation.
