Learn English – When someone gets you wrong and you are going to explain them that they’ve got you wrong

sentence-choicesentence-constructionsentence-structure

Please imagine you say someone something and that person gets you wrong. You want to explain them that their taking has been wrong. I was wondering if someone could let me know which one of the following self-made sentences sounds more idiomatic in this sense:

  • Wait, I think you are misunderstanding me

  • Wait, I think you got me wrong

  • Wait, I think you got it wrong

  • Wait, I think you took it the wrong way

  • Wait, I think you took it twisted

For me, they all work properly , but I don't have any idea which one is in common use in English.

While the above answers do make sense they come off as blaming the other person.
I would instead try something like

I think there has been some miscommunication.

This way no one is being blamed but the issue is still raised.
