encuentro
The main text says:
No es que yo ande por donde quiera sin razón, yo estoy en una lucha porque quiero comprender[note] más y quiero darles más a nuestros hijos. Le digo "tú tienes que "comprender" y calmarte mijo."
Then the note says:
Con preguntas directas e indirectas dedujimos que Ofelia usa el verbo comprender como “descubrimiento” y “encuentro” y a la vez con respeto y entendimiento entre dos personas del sentido de un hecho de un objeto o de una acción.
My sense is that "meeting" isn't quite what the author means. "Meeting of the minds"? Any other ideas?? TIA!!
Non-PRO (1): Liliana Galiano
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

finding
the meaning of comprender according to the Real Academia Española that fits the best is: encontrar justificados o naturales los actos o sentimientos de otro.
http://www.woxikon.es/spa/encuentro.php
encuentro is a synonim of descubrimiento and hallazgo
hallazgo translated would be finding
therfore:
i would suggest: ´discovery´ and ´finding´
