Comprendo vs. entiendo

Question

I'm confused. Which word should I use to say "I don't understand?" No comprendo or no entiendo? Thanks

Answer 1

Most of the spanish speaking community I am around use "no entiendo" to indicate they do not understand a term, phrase, or communication. I hear it most often.

Comprendo is used to indicate you do not comprehend a situaton, circumstance, or operation.

That's what I've noticed. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

I use them interchangeably.
