comprendre

to understand

verb kom-PRON-dr Common
Mind & Emotions Mental States

Also means

to include

Usage Note

Comprendre carries a second, less obvious sense — to comprise or include — so le prix comprend le petit-déjeuner means breakfast is part of the price. Built from prendre, it conjugates exactly like it, and je comprends is your go-to nod that you've followed someone.

Examples

"Je comprends ton problème."

Natural Translation

I understand your problem.
