and this is pretty advanced,

explain me can exist in one specific context.

-
or explain to me the object.
或是 explain to me + 事/物。
-
Now, if me is the object, then yes explain me can exist.
如果 me 就是那個事/物,那麼 explain me 這個講法就可以成立。

as I don't understand myself.
因為我不了解我自己。

Explain me to me. (chuckles)
