understanding in the dictionary means identifying the meaning, an example would be that you do not understand what the word understand means. you cannot grasp the meaning of the word.

Understanding means when your getting what people are saying, you are following what they are saying.

Ie : Are you understanding this maths question?
Means: Are you following,getting this maths question?

. ability to grasp a meaning: the ability to perceive and explain the meaning or the nature of somebody or something
Surely even someone with a very limited understanding could see the logic in that.

2. interpretation of something: somebody’s interpretation of something, or a belief or opinion based on an interpretation of or inference from something
It was my understanding that the costs would be shared equally.

3. mutual comprehension: an agreement, often an unofficial or unspoken one
I’m sure we can come to an understanding about this.

4. knowledge of another’s nature: a sympathetic, empathetic, or tolerant recognition of somebody else’s nature or situation
I thought you of all people would show a little understanding.



adj
1. sympathetically aware: sympathetic, empathetic, or tolerant in recognizing somebody’s or something’s character and situation
fortunate in having understanding parents

2. able to know something: able to comprehend the sense or meaning of something (archaic)

Example: She not very understanding, because she never listens to what I have to say or can never relate to how I'm feeling.

understanding means that you can relate to where people are coming from.. if you're an understanding person, you're very nice, and you are very approachable. it means to grasp the meaning of something =)

for example: i am a very understanding person. i can always see where people are coming from and i can find something good about anything anyone tells me. people can always come to me for help, or if they did something wrong. because i am understanding and i find good in everything people do.

understanding means like that you preety much understand people. you listen to them and try to get what they are trying to say. like if i was upset or going through a hard time, you listening to me talk about it would make you understanding.

hope i helped.

To understand something is to see the significance or meaning of something.
For example, baby did not know why cat was not a tree. Mommy told baby that cat could move and tree could not. Baby -understood- why cant isn't a tree... it's because tree can't move like cat.
