1. 我知道 (wǒ zhī dào): This is the most common and general way to say "I know." It can be used in various situations, such as acknowledging information or understanding something.
2. 我懂 (wǒ dǒng): This translates to "I understand." It is used when you comprehend something, particularly the meaning of a statement or concept.
Here are some examples:
* "I know you're tired." (我知道你累了) - wǒ zhī dào nǐ lèi le
* "I know how to do this." (我知道怎么做) - wǒ zhī dào zěn me zuò
* "I understand what you mean." (我懂你的意思) - wǒ dǒng nǐ de yì si
Important note: While both phrases can be translated as "I know," they convey slightly different nuances. "我知道" emphasizes knowing a fact or information, while "我懂" highlights understanding and comprehension.
