| Nov 25, 2018 at 8:47 | comment | added | Joonas Ilmavirta♦ | So it seems, but there don't seem to be many conversational use examples of capio in classical Latin. If you think you've found a decent solution, you can always answer your own question! | |

| Nov 25, 2018 at 8:32 | comment | added | Joonas Ilmavirta♦ | Two related questions: How do you translate the idiom, I see? and Translating “understand” in a conversation | |
| Nov 25, 2018 at 8:31 | comment | added | Joonas Ilmavirta♦ | Do you want it to be idiomatic in classical Latin or modern usage? It sounds modern, but you have the classical tag. | |
