To comprehend something clearly.
Contexto cultural
Saying 'Başa düşdüm' quickly can sometimes seem like you are rushing the speaker. It's better to nod and say it at the end. In Baku, youth often use 'Çatdı' (It reached) instead of 'Başa düşdüm'. It's very informal. In universities, students use 'Başa düşmək' for concepts, but professors might use 'Mənimsəmək' (to internalize/master). In contracts, 'Anlaşma' is used for 'Understanding/Agreement', but in meetings, everyone says 'Başa düşdük'.
Use it for empathy
If someone is sad, just say 'Səni başa düşürəm.' It's the most comforting thing to hear.
Don't forget the 'a'
Saying 'Baş düşmək' sounds like a head is literally falling off a table.
