Totally understand ~ I’ll say “ok, got it” instead of “ok, noted” sometimes. Can I know what’s the difference between “got it” and “get it”? I’m not sure about this so I always say “noted”😂

@babykk You have to be a little bit careful. If you say "OK, I got it." or "OK, got it.", it sounds like you are saying that you now understand, and you will remember it. If you say "OK, I get it." it just sounds like you are saying that you now understand. "OK, I get it." is actually more correct grammatically! BUT, you cannot say "OK, get it." - this doesn't make sense, and sounds incorrect.

Here are all of them with a definition:
"OK, noted." = "OK, I got it." = "OK, got it." - this means "I now understand, and I'll remember it."
"OK, I get it." - this means "I now understand."

This is a little confusing, it's casual English grammar, if you understand you are doing very well!

@babykk May I say one more thing? If you are asking somebody if they understand, you can use any of these:
1) "Do you understand?"
2) "Do you get it?"
3) "Understand?"
4) "Get it?"
5) "Got it?"

The only difference is that 1), 2) and 3) are polite, 4) and 5) are not very polite.

@babykk They are both correct, but they sound very, very formal! They would be very common when replying to something through email.
