in normal conversation often sounds like this:

means Kenyu is a friend of yours

can/ you /understand/ it
means you is a foreigner

can/ you/ understan/ dit
means you is an idiot

canyou /understand/ it
means it is friggin' weird

can/ you/ understand/ it
means you are a grammarian talking in a vacuum
