Let’s look there are many ways to saying I understand. Okay instead of saying I understand you can say, ‘I realize’, all right? Now this is a slight bit serious you use I realize for a slightly serious situation, okay? So maybe someone you know is going through a hard time, all right? Maybe they’re going through a financial struggle or maybe a broken relationship and they share their experience what they’re going through with you, so in response you could say, “I realize that it’s hard for you.” I realize that it’s hard for you. So by using this you understand that someone is going through something difficult and you understand the seriousness, okay? It’s more like putting yourself in someone else’s shoe and empathizing with them, okay? Understanding what they are experiencing so you could say, I realized that it’s hard for you. There’s another way of using I realized, all right? So recently I was speaking to this girl okay, I met her just randomly somewhere and suddenly as she was speaking I realized that I had seen her before. So that’s another way of using I realize which means that you suddenly realized something. So as I said as I was speaking to her I realized that I had met her before, okay? So you can use I realize to say that I understood suddenly. So these are the two ways to use I realize. This is slightly, um I can’t say negative but then when you’re trying to empathize with someone and this is obviously positive and a very neutral and natural response, okay?
