comprendo

I follow what you're saying

Comprendo is Spanish for "I understand," borrowed into casual English to signal comprehension or agreement: Comprendo, I'll have it done by Friday.

Often used playfully or to add flair, it functions like "got it" or "understood." The questioning ¿Comprendo? asks whether someone follows what's being explained.
