compreensível

Compreensível is a Portuguese adjective that translates to understandable or comprehensible in English. It describes something that can be grasped, understood, or perceived by the mind. This can apply to ideas, explanations, emotions, or even actions. For something to be compreensível, it must be clear, logical, and presented in a way that allows for assimilation by the recipient. The degree to which something is compreensível can vary depending on the audience's background knowledge, cognitive abilities, and the context of the communication.

The term is often used in educational settings to evaluate the clarity of teaching methods or learning materials. If a lesson is described as compreensível, it means the students are able to follow the concepts being presented. In everyday conversation, it signifies that a statement or situation makes sense and is not confusing. Conversely, something that is not compreensível might be considered obscure, perplexing, or difficult to follow. The etymology of the word comes from the Latin "comprehendere," meaning to grasp or seize, which aligns with the idea of mentally taking hold of an idea.
