This word as a verb most often means “copiar.” Here is an example:
Please copy this document and send it to me.
There is one isolated instance in which this word is used to mean “understand” usually when law enforcement personnel are communicating over the radio. It is not as common for the common person to use the word of the day this way, but it does appear in movies at times and should be at least mentioned. Here is an example of how it is used:
“Sergeant, I need more soldiers. We are surrounded.”
