Komprenon

Komprenon is the accusative singular form of the Esperanto noun kompreno, which denotes understanding or comprehension. In Esperanto grammar, the direct object is marked by adding -n to the noun; therefore komprenon is used whenever the concept of understanding is the object of a verb or a preposition.

The term covers cognitive grasp, including both general understanding and situational interpretation. It is commonly used in education, philosophy, and everyday speech to refer to what someone understands about a topic. Example: Mi havas komprenon pri la temo.

Related forms include kompreno (the base noun meaning understanding) and kompreneni (to understand, though the standard verb is kompreni). The root kompren- expresses the concept of understanding; adding -o forms the noun, and adding -n marks the accusative case. Adjectives such as komprenebla (understandable) are also derived from the same root.

In discourse, komprenon can be refined by prepositional phrases, for example komprenon pri io (an understanding of something) or komprenon de io (an understanding of something). The term is widely used across domains such as language learning, debate, and cognitive science to describe what a person or group grasps about a subject.
