comprensible

understandable

adjective kohm-pren-SEE-bleh Rare

Also means

comprehensible

Usage Note

Comprensible means 'able to be understood' (i.e. clear, intelligible). Do not confuse it with comprensivo, which means 'understanding' or 'sympathetic' — a very common false-cognate trap for English speakers. Una explicación comprensible is a clear explanation; una persona comprensiva is an empathetic person.

Examples

"Su explicación fue muy comprensible."

Natural Translation

His explanation was very understandable.
