Bedeutung
Stating that one has grasped the meaning or situation.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Silence after an explanation is often seen as a sign of confusion or lack of respect. Using '이해가 되었습니다' provides 'feedback' that keeps the social flow smooth. The hierarchy in Korean language means that acknowledging a superior's explanation is a way of validating their authority and wisdom. Because Koreans often speak indirectly, '이해가 되었습니다' is a vital tool to confirm that the 'hidden' meaning has been correctly received. In Korean schools, students are encouraged to show they are following along. This phrase is a staple of the student-teacher relationship.

Don't Overuse
