Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'entendido', 'entiendo', and 'comprensivo'?
'Entendido' is a confirmation ('Got it!') or describes something as being understood. 'Entiendo' is what you say when you are actively understanding something ('I understand'). 'Comprensivo' is a personality trait; it means you are an understanding or empathetic person.
Do I say 'la problema entendido' or 'el problema entendido'?
You would say 'el problema entendido'. 'Entendido' has to match the gender and number of the noun it describes. Since 'problema' is a masculine noun ('el problema'), you use the masculine form 'entendido'.
