了解 vs 理解
What's the difference between them?I've read 理解 means "understand", while 了解 means "understand", is it right?
"理解"和"了解"有很细微的区别。
“”理解“”和“”了解”+人称的用法。
举例：
我理解你。I understand you. It means that in one situation I understand you.
我了解你。I know you. It means that I know you, I know who you are.
“理解”和“了解”+事物的用法
举例：
我理解这句话的意思。I understand the meaning of this sentence.
我了解这个情况。I understand this situation.

理解 means to know, to understand both in the mind and in the heart. When you feel relatable to someone's experience, you can say‘我理解你的处境’=（I've been there before, I get it how it feels）
Compared to 理解，了解 is more superficial level.(know it roghly) For exemple: 我想了解下当前情况（I'd like to know what's going on ）Hope it helps!

Yeah, you are right, 理解is like understand, comprehend, eg: comprehend the implication, understand someone's feeling, etc.
了解 is like knowing someone or some facts
