Definition: To grasp a concept fully and thoroughly, especially (of words, statements, art, etc.) to be aware of the meaning of and (of people) to be aware of the intent of.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look today,
At a word that's important in so many ways.
“Understanding,” it’s written, clear and bright,
Let’s break it down with all our might!
The dictionary gives us a helpful plea,
"To grasp a concept fully, thoroughly see!"
Like learning math or reading a book,
You need to truly understand the look –
Of words and statements, sentences too,
To know exactly what they mean for you.
Think of a poem, a painting grand,
Understanding helps it all expand!
And then there’s this part, a little bit more,
"Aware of meaning," right to the core.
But wait! There's something extra we should find,
“Of people,” it says, with a thoughtful mind!
It means you see what they truly intend,
Their motives and feelings, without end.
Are they happy? Sad? Or trying to tease?
Understanding their intentions, if you please!
So understanding isn’t just knowing the facts,
Or memorizing things and keeping them intact.
It's about connection, a deeper view,
To see what’s behind – it’s wonderfully true!
Now, let’s think for a moment… Can anyone give me an example of a time they really
understood
something? Let’s hear your thoughts!
