Komprenigi

Komprenigi is a Esperanto verb meaning "to make understand" or "to cause to understand." It is derived from the root word "kompreni," which means "to understand." The suffix "-igi" is a causative suffix in Esperanto, indicating that an action causes another to happen or makes someone or something become a certain way. Therefore, "komprenigi" signifies the act of facilitating comprehension in another person.

This verb is used in various contexts where one party is explaining or demonstrating something to another in order to ensure they grasp the concept, information, or situation. For example, a teacher might komprenigi a difficult mathematical concept to their students, or a friend might komprenigi a complex story to another. The emphasis is on the successful transfer of understanding from the source to the recipient.

It is distinct from simply "kompreni" (to understand) as it implies an active effort to impart knowledge or clarity. The focus is on the *process* of making someone else understand, rather than just the state of being understood. The correct usage of "komprenigi" highlights the intentionality and action taken to bridge a gap in comprehension.
