Is there a word that means I understand what you’re saying, but does not mean that I comprehend it?
For instance: «Given the big-O notation, we can calculate the approximate time the algorithm will take.»
That is perfect English, and broken up word by word (Save «big-O»), it can be understood. However, the actual meaning of the sentence may not be.
So basically, is there a word that says I understand each word, while not doubling to mean I understand the idea?
Edit: I’m not looking to say I don’t understand you, rather just one word that doesn’t double to mean the other, and doesn’t have a negative connotation. So expound, incomprehensible, and so on are not what I’m looking for.
J L V has put it the most elegant, «You’re looking for a single word describing that while you both HEARD (audibility) and UNDERSTOOD (meaning) every single word in that sentence you still weren’t able to get the ‘big picture’.»

1.toaskpermission/ givepermission (можно)
2.to talk about possible happenings in the Future
(возможно, может быть)
WE USE MAY/MIGHT:
May I borrowyour umbrella, please?
May I see your garden, please?
I’m not sure where to go for my holiday. I may go to Italy. (= perhaps 1will go ) The weather forecast is not very good.
Itmight rainthis afternoon. (= perhaps it will rain)
144
3.to talk aboutpossible plans
(могу, возможно)
4.reproach (only might)
(мог бы)
NOTES:
I am going to Italy in July. (For sure)
I may/mightgo to Italy in July, (it’s possible)
You are becoming forgetful.
You might have reminded me about it.
1.We also use can/could to ask or refuse permission. Can is the commonest and most informal:
□You’re visiting your friend and wantto make some coffee. You say:
Can I make myself a cup of coffee?
Could is more polite than can:
□Could Imake a phone call, please?
2.We refer to “some other authority” that gives/refuses permission like this:
|
□ You are allowed to/not allowed to ——— |
|
|
□ You are permitted to/not permitted t o ————— |
smoke here. |
|
□ You mustn’t/you are forbidden to ——— |
|
|
We can ask for permission like this: |
□Can/could/may/might I borrowyour umbrella?
□Do you think I could/might borrowyour umbrella?
□I wonder if I could/might borrow your umbrella?
3.Permission/prohibition in other tenses than Present or Future.
May is not a “complete verb”, so we use to be allowed/to be permitted to make up the missing parts:
□The children were allowed to watch TV last night.
□He has just been allowed to go home after 3 hours at the police station.
□His doctor hadn’t allowed him to take any exercises in the year before he died.
4.The negative answer to the question containing a request for permission:
1.No, don’t, please Don’t is less strict than maynot. It is rather asking somebody
|
I’mafraid not. |
not to do something. |
2. No, you may not. Actuallyprohibiting something.
(нет, нельзя=не смей)
3.No, you must not. Means that it is not the person who prohibits the action but (запрещено, нельзя) there are facts, rules or circumstances prohibiting it.
4.No, you can’t. Itdenotes theabsence ofpossibilitydepending on circumstances,
I’msorry, you can’t. rules, laws, etc.
5.Might instead of may is used because of the Sequence of Tenses:
□May I read the letter? He asked if he might read the letter.
In its second meaning may/might is used to express uncertainty, supposition implying strong doubt. May denoting uncertainty is used with all forms of the infinitive.
145
|
Может быть, |
be there |
Present |
||
|
Не may/might (not) + |
be waiting |
|||
|
возможно |
have left |
Past |
||
|

||||
|

There is no important difference between may and might in this meaning. Sometimes “might” expresses greater uncertainty than “may”:
□He may/might be in his office now. (I’m not sure.)
□I can’t find my bag anywhere. — You might have left it in the shop.
□He may not have noticed you in that crowd.

A
Изучите следующую ситуацию:
Вы хотите сообщить кому-нибудь о том, что сказал Пол. Есть два способа это сделать:
Вы можете повторить слова Пола (direct speech — прямая речь):
Paul said, ‘I’m feeling ill.’
Или вы можете использовать reported speech — косвенную (непрямую) речь:
Paul said that he was feeling ill.
Сравните?
| прямая |  |
| косвенная |
B
В косвенной речи основной глагол (Paul said that … / I told her that … и др.) и остальная часть предложения обычно находятся в прошедшем времени:
- Paul said that he was feeling ill.
Пол сказал, что он плохо себя чувствовал. - I told Lisa that I didn’t have any money.
Я сказал Лизе, что у меня не было денег.
That можно и не использовать, т.е. вы можете сказать:
- Paul said that he was feeling ill. или Paul said he was feeling ill.
Как правило, форма настоящего времени в прямой речи изменяется на форму прошедшего времени в косвенной речи:
am/is → was
are → were
do/does → did
have/has → had
will → would
can → could
want/like/know/go etc. → wanted/liked/knew/went etc.
Сравните прямую и косвенную речь:
Вы встретили Дженни. Вот кое-что из того, что она сказала в прямой речи:
Позже вы сообщаете кому-то о том, что сказала Дженни, используя косвенную речь:
‘My parents are very well.’
Jenny said that her parents were very well.
‘I’m going to learn to drive.’
She said that she was going to learn to drive.
‘I want to buy a car.’
She said that she wanted to buy a car.
‘John has a new job.’
She said that John had a new job.

Hello,
I’d like to know if both constructions are possible:
If I have understood right …
If I have understood well …
Thanks for helping me!

Hi Pitt,
A very common phrase in English is :- » If I have understood correctly, …….».
-
#3
If I have understood right … mmmh
If I have understood well …![:cross:]( "Cross :cross:")
The first one is the better of the two and would be understood. However, I feel it sound like lazy English.

I believe Teafrog is saying he recognizes his own feelings/opinion in Klystron29’s post (that «correctly» is common in this context).
-
#7
Although I agree that the most common phrase would be «If I have understood correctly», your first sentence could be:
«If I have understood rightly«
This is a rather old-fashioned word that isn’t used every day but it’s perfectly correct usage.
-

When it is written out, «if I understand right» almost barks back at you that it is incorrect. Yet, we hear it in conversation. The usage is probably a spin-off from knowing or not knowing right from wrong.

I don’t understand: «My feelings entirely».
Hi Pitt. I apologise for the confusion. It means that the thoughts and viewpoints expressed by Klystron29 mirrored (are very similar to) mine. It is a different way to say «I agree with what’s been said or expressed as these are my own viewpoints as well», but in not so many words.
Forero has already explained correctly , but I thought I owed you a personnal note to clarify. Thanks Forero

The verb is in the unspoken (or unwritten, in this case) part: «these are my feelings entirely». When someone uses a recognisable sentence or idiom, it is usual in English (and in other languages, I suspect) to abbreviate it. I never thought this would cause confusion (Es tut mir wirklich Leid). Sorry guys

Many thanks for your explanation! Now I have understood perfectly:
These are my feelings entirely > My feelings entirely.

I disagree with Teafrog.
«If I have understood well» is unusual, but it is grammatical.
«If I have understood right» is ungrammatical, and wrong.
The most common way of saying this, though, would be «If I have understood correctly».

Surely there is nothing wrong with «If I have understood right,» except that other forms are more natural?
Personally, I would say «If I have understood aright.»
(Only joking )

I still say it has to be «rightly». In the context of the sentence, how is it possible to use «right» as an adverb here? Isn’t that the same as saying «I have understood correct»?

I’m just wondering why using right (adverb) is considered wrong in this sentence.

I’m just wondering why using right (adverb) is considered wrong in this sentence.
As has been said by others, it just «sounds» wrong. Could it have something to do with the past tense nature of the sentence? I don’t think I’d have a problem with the present tense «Do I understand you right?», for example, yet «If I have understood you right» just doesn’t seem… well… right.
-
#16
«right» as an adverb is not wrong! You could argue it is a truncated version of «rightly» but I believe it is a good use in this context as the adverb «rightly» can in fact mean something quite different in this context, namely that «I have understood rightly» = «I was correct to understand this»
-
#17
As a postcript to my last, perhaps this distinction between «right» and «rightly» exists only in British English?

I mourn the passing of «If I have understood arights»

I’m just wondering whether «if I understand you right» also sounds unnatural to natives’ ears?

No. «If I understand you right» sounds normal to me.
