If we omit "Does" at the end of this sentence:' Does anybody get what I mean" it will become:" Anybody gets what I mean" or "Anybody get what I mean"?

Hi,

' Does anybody get what I mean?'

In informal conversation, to shorten this question you would simply omit 'does', ie 'Anybody get what I mean?'

You understand?Smile [:)]

At the end of the sentence?  Didn't you mean the beginning?  (In English we wouldn't refer to that position as the end, even though I suppose it's the front end! )  Smile [:)]
