'say i' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.

'do understand problem of french revolutionary' is the wordplay.
'do understand' becomes 'get' (getting is a kind of understanding).
'problem' becomes 'hitch' (hitch can mean a problem or delay).
'of french' becomes 'de' ('of' in French).
'revolutionary' says the letters should be written in reverse (letters revolve around).
'de' in reverse letter order is 'ed'.
'get'+'hitch'+'ed'='GET HITCHED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for get hitched that I've seen is " Tie the knot".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
