adjective B1 property

easy to understand or follow

Easy to understand; not difficult to follow or learn.

사용 패턴： [something] is understandable

자주 하는 실수：

Learners sometimes confuse "understandable" with the verb "understand" or the adjective "understanding". Use "understandable" to describe things that are easy to understand (e.g., "an understandable text"), and "understanding" to describe people who are kind and accept others (e.g., "an understanding teacher"). Another mistake is saying "I am understandable" when they mean "People can understand me"; it is more natural to say "My English is understandable" or "People can understand me."

adjective B2 property

reasonable or easy to sympathize with

Normal or reasonable in a situation, so people can accept it or feel the same way.

사용 패턴： [reaction/action] is understandable

자주 하는 실수：

Learners sometimes say "I am understandable" when they mean "People can understand why I feel this way." In this emotional sense, it is more natural to say "My feelings are understandable" or "It is understandable that I feel this way." Another common error is using an infinitive instead of a clause, e.g., *"It is understandable to you are angry"; correct forms are "It is understandable that you are angry" or "Your anger is understandable."

유의어

reasonable (Stresses being fair and sensible; not always about emotions but often overlaps.) | natural (Emphasizes that a feeling or reaction is what most people would have in that situation.) | forgivable (Focuses more on the idea that a mistake or wrong action can be excused.)

반의어

unreasonable (Describes reactions or demands that are not fair or sensible in the situation.) | inexcusable (Suggests that a mistake or action cannot be justified or forgiven.)
