read you

I hear you

To read someone is to perceive their thoughts, feelings, or intentions accurately—to understand what they're really thinking or what kind of person they are.

Read you confirms reception and comprehension, especially in radio communication: Copy that, I read you loud and clear.

In casual speech, I read you means I understand what you're getting at: You don't have to explain further—I read you.
