Yes, and please do. There are no silly questions here.

Sometimes the AI uses big words by habit.

You can stop it and ask for simpler words any time.

A clear, plain answer is always something you can ask for.

Try this
  1. Type, "Please explain that more simply."
  2. You can add, "Use small, everyday words."
  3. Ask it to explain like you are brand new to this.
  4. Keep asking until the answer feels clear to you.
