Explanation at your level:

This phrase means you understand what you hear. Use it when someone speaks to you and you want to say 'I understand'.
This is a resultative verb compound. {听|tīng} means to listen, and {懂|dǒng} means to understand. Together with {了|le}, it confirms the action of understanding is complete.
It functions as a confirmation of cognitive processing. It is essential for managing discourse, ensuring that both parties are aligned before proceeding with a conversation or task.
The phrase demonstrates the Chinese tendency to use resultative structures to define the outcome of an action. It is a pragmatic marker of successful communication, often used to signal the end of an instructional sequence.
Linguistically, this is a perfective aspect marker applied to a resultative verb compound. It signifies the transition from the state of 'not knowing' to 'knowing' through the medium of auditory input.
This expression exemplifies the intersection of aspectual marking and lexical compounding in Mandarin. It serves as a phatic communication tool, reinforcing the social contract of mutual understanding in a dialogue, often functioning as a discourse-closing device.
