i don't understand what you write vs i don't understand what you wrote

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'I don't understand what you write' is in the present tense, indicating a current situation. On the other hand, 'I don't understand what you wrote' is in the past tense, referring to something written in the past.
