Hello, guys, I want to teach you something very interesting and very useful here. Actually, I want to teach you 10 ways to say I don't know, when you don't understand something. What do you say? You say? I don't know, but it's very repetitive. Let's understand some other nice ways to say I don't know.

Are you ready? Let's start. The first one is I have no clue, or I have no idea which is very common. It means to be completely unable to guess, understand or deal with something. For example, who invented algebra? I don't have a clue.
