I heard this sentence in a film:
"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.)
