 understand "I don't understand about this tunnel." The meaning was approximately: I don't understand what it is for, or why they are digging it or something of the sort. But can the verb "understand" be used that way? understand+about+object (I know we have "what I don't understand about X is that...", but this isn't the same thing.) |

| Re: understand "I don't understand this tunnel" is correct. Dropping the "about." |
