EN: to be able to understand
More than just 'to understand,' this is about deep comprehension. It's what you wish your parents would do when you explain your career choice. It’s about grasping not just the words but the ‘hugot’ behind them. 'Sana makaunawa ka sa mga pinagdadaanan ko.' It's empathy-level understanding.
From `maka-` (ability/potential verb prefix) + `unawa` (understanding, comprehension).
ROOT MEANING: understanding; comprehension
Deeper and more formal than 'maintindihan'. It implies empathy and profound comprehension.
