i think it means "I don't understand you"... - lydianish1, Feb 12, 2012
It means "I don't understand you at all." (as in motives, intentions, behavior....) that's behaviour for our friends across the pond ;) - ajaks, Feb 12, 2012

"No lo pillo" is an idiom for "I don't get it."
I think that "No te pillo" also means "I don't get it" or "I don't catch your meaning."

Check out this thread in another forum for uses of "pillar."

Nappap is right, in the literal sense. "No te entiendo" means I don't understand you.

If you wait for a while, a native speaker may be able to give you a more informal and colorful phrase smile

When I see this phrase, it makes me think, "What's your problem?". If that's not the sentiment you were wanting to convey with the phrase, then the rest of this post will be irrelevant.

Anyway, "¿Qué tienes?" is a common way of saying, "What's your problem?". So, to append the "I don't get..." part, you could say:

No entiendo qué tienes. No sé qué tienes.

Or you could just use "¿Qué tienes?".

Yeah, I don't get what your deal is can be very different from I don't get you. (They can be the same, but they can be different). - webdunce, Feb 12, 2012

It means I don't get what your problem is - an expression
