In everyday conversation, if someone asked me in Spanish if I spoke Spanish, I might say " Si, hablo" (or "Si, yo lo hablo" if I was feeling formal), which means "Yes, I speak it" - but if I didn't speak so well and only really understood the language when I heard it spoken, to convey that I might answer with "I understand it" instead, and I'd say - in colloquial semi-slang - "Si, comprendo." Which actually only says, "Yes, I understand" but conveys the remark "Yes, I understand it" - the "it" being left off in informal speech sometimes. You could say "do you understand it?" as in, "do you comprehend the concept?" and in Spanish, that would be the verb "comprender" conjugated fully as "tu lo comprendes?" (with an upside-down question mark before the sentence and an acute diacritical mark over the "u" in "tu" which my keyboard won't allow me to type for you). The word would be conjugated very differently depending upon, for instance, to whom you are speaking, whether you are asking or stating or commanding, and also what colloquial meaning you might have in mind for the phrase.įor instance, in English, colloquial meaning of "understand it" varies: First, it's important to distinguish the context of the words "understand it". ![]()
