repeat or repeat it?
I know it sounds like a very simple question, but I am in doubt

I ´ve heard somewhere it is not natural to say Can you repeat it?

However, prior to that I was taught not to say CAn you repeat ?

So what´s the best way?
I guess " can you repeat that ?"is non-controversial , isn´t it?

Thank you

Answer

The most natural way to express that idea is to say:

Could you repeat that, please?

:)

Answer

„That“ refers to what was said previously. So it's the best word to use in this case.
