Far from expert, sample bridge is good. But basic agreements is need.
Opp preemtive at 4 level, my overcall structure as below:

1) suit overcall is nature.

2) take out double through 4.

3) penalty double after 4 .

4) 4N nature overcall after 4 minors.

Do i miss anything or make a mistake ? More diffcult is opp's suit is Majors.

5) what means is 4N after 4 ? minors or nature ?

6) Do u think 4N after 4 is take out ?

7) 4 ( db ) 4 ( P ) 5: Is 5 cue bid ? just asked to pass or correct to 5?

8) 4 ( 4N ) Pass ( 5 ) P ( 5 ): Is 5 cue bid ? just asked to pass or correct to 5?

Minors. The only reason that 4NT is played as natural over four of a minor is that there's no better use for it - it's actually a very rare bid. Over 4, showing both minors is more useful than showing both minors.

If you play double as penalties, 4NT is for takeout.
If you play double as takeout, 4NT shows a two-suiter.

I think it should show something like 2146. You doubled first partly in case partner wanted to leave it in, and partly to suggest diamonds as a possible strain.

An alternative is to play it as a one-suited hand, stronger than a direct 5. To bid like this you would have to be able to cope with a 5 reply, so it ought to have at least three diamonds.

Assuming you mean
  4   4N   pass 5
  pass 5
That shows diamonds and hearts.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
