'Entender' help

Question

Entender = to understand ...correct?

And 'No me entiendes' means 'I don't understand you'

But technically, shouldn't it be translated as 'You don't understand me?'

Thank you.

You may use the translator functionality provided on the site for simple translations .. (just a tip for the future)..

But for now,,

"No me entiendes" (as Rodney suggested above) doesn't mean "I don't understand you" ,, here the complete sentence is " (tu) no me entiendes" where the subject pronoun "tu" is optional and omitted (as it is understood from the verb conjugation) . it means "you don't understand me" ...

but if you want to say ... I don't understand you... that would be said as .... no te entiendo ... go to the dictionary section and look up the conjugation for the verb entender for a proper understanding ..
