#understanding

Understanding a feeling does not require endorsing every conclusion

You can recognise someone's disappointment without agreeing that everyone treated them unfairly. Saying that missing the invitation sounds painful acknowledges their experience. It leaves room to discuss what happened without requiring you to confirm an explanation you do not know is true.

comparison

Compare nearby concepts along the same dimensions

Two definitions can sound clear separately and still be difficult to distinguish. A comparison note places them beside each other and asks the same questions of both. Comparing weather and climate by timescale and purpose makes their difference clearer than collecting two unrelated descriptions.

paraphrasing

Paraphrase the meaning, not just the vocabulary

Replacing a few words with synonyms can leave you following the original sentence without understanding it. A stronger paraphrase rebuilds the explanation around the idea you understood. Read the source, look away and explain the point in your own structure before checking that its meaning survived.
