Also means
to include
Usage Note
Comprender and entender both mean 'to understand', but comprender implies a deeper, empathetic grasp — te comprendo (I understand what you're going through) — while entender is more cognitive. It also means 'to comprise' or 'to include': el precio comprende el desayuno (the price includes breakfast). Learners often use only entender and miss this useful nuance.
Examples
"No comprendo por qué lo hizo."
Natural Translation
I don't understand why he did it.
