How do you say this in Japanese? I can understand, but I cannot reply.

See a translation

When you speak to someone in the language that you are learning, you can understand them, but you do not know how to reply back.

Answers

Literal translation is わかるけど、返事ができません.

But I'd say like 何を言っているかは分かるけど、どう返せばいいかわかりません
(I can understand what you’re saying, but I don't know how to reply) or 内容は分かるけど、返し方がわかりません(I can understand the sentence content, but I don't know how to reply).

If you want to ask, こういうとき、どういうふうに返せばいいんですか？(How should I reply in such a case?) is one of a candidate.
