It means "Do you speak French?" and would be used with an authority, stranger, or more than one person.

If you were talking to 1 pet, 1 little kid, or 1 friend/someone you know very well you would say: "parles-tu francais?" (pronounced "parl too fransay?") which means exactly the same thing but has the informal word "tu" meaning "you" instead of the formal/plural "vous" meaning "you".

Comprenez-vous??? ("do you understand?")

Comprends-tu??? ("do you understand" - informal!!)
parlez vous francais means do you speak french?

In English it means: You (informal and singular) speak french. It should be written: "tu parles francais?" by the way.

"ar" in 'parlez' is pronounced like the English word 'are'. the "a" in 'francais' is pronounced like the 'a' in 'father'. so it would sound something like: "Parlay voo fransay?" Get it?

Parlez is talk and vous is you. This means 'You talk' or if it was asked in a question form then it is 'you talk'.
