Ah! I follow you! Rozumiem

I was chatting to a Polish acquaintance about ways to say that you understand.  In English there is the simple: I understand - rozumiem, in Polish. but we often mix things up and say: I follow you.   The closest equivalent to using a word that sounds like you are following someone on a journey through what they are telling you, uses the verb for travelling on foot: chodzić Wiem o co chodzi - which seems to mean, I know what's going on Other phrases with chodzi: Chodzi o to... - the point is... Chodzi mi o to - I mean it. Możesz mi wytłumaczyć o co chodzi...? - Can you explain...? Nie mam pojęcia o co ci chodzi - I have no idea what you are talking about.
