I want to encourage the person to re-tell something with their own words or reflect on certain topic. The closest I can come up with is "Comment comprenez-vous cette information?".

If you want to ask a person to explain something in their own words, you could use the verb paraphraser (just as you could use the verb to paraphrase in English).

  • Paraphrasez cela.
  • Paraphrasez la phrase.
  • ...

You could also use reformuler:

Reformulez avec vos propre mots.

You can say "Pouvez-vous reformuler la problématique?". This expression is often used in the directives to write essays, directives given in French classes by the professors to the students..

  • Please, you have to write "problématique".

  • @HorsSujet - I replaced "le problème" by "la problématique", but I forget to change the accent :(.

Comment voyez-vous ceci ?
