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.
