NessDomozaJuly 2019 well there's a subtle difference: "figure out" is used when you are using pieces of information and you pull them together like a puzzle i.e. "the detective figured out who stole the diamond" understand is being able to follow a line of thinking, mostly because you pay attention to new info and you can connect it quickly with previous i.e "you can understand math if you start with basic operations" |
vincentJuly 2019 great answer, thanks it's subtle but important to know
Alexqc1990August 2019 I think to "figure out" refers to an attempt to solve a problem or answer a question. Whereas to "understand" is learning information and interpreting it or having a view of it. |

MugaanyiNovember 2021 Figure out may mean to find out, differentiate, compare and constant whereas to understand may mean to grasp, fully knowing something |
