But I do............

If I was refuting, like "Sé que crees que no te entiendo. pero sí que lo hago"
You would say "sí que lo hago" not just "pero lo hago" right? It's like, I DO do it, because that sí also says do, you know? Gracias.

"I do" does not translate literally to "hacer" in this context. What you are really saying is, "but I do (understand you)."
"Sé que crees que no te entiendo, pero sí te entiendo."

But I think it works, don't you? - jeezzle, May 29, 2011
The "do" is for emphasis in English. The "sí" is the equivalent emphasis in Spanish. - gintar77, May 29, 2011

"pero lo hago" está bien dicho también!
"pero estás equivocado" también se puede usar.

But wouldn't that be if he were trying to translate "I know that you think I don't understand you, but I do it"? "But I do it" is not the same as "but I do". - gintar77, May 29, 2011
