This is a great word for more advanced levels so let's see some examples to truly understand the meaning:
- Sus entendederas no llegan a más.
He has a brain the size of a pea, he's bird-brained.
- Por mucho que se lo explique , siempre se equivoca, ella es corta de entendederas.
As much as I explain her that, she is always gets it wrong, she is pretty dim.
- La respuesta de la Comisión a mis preguntas habría sorprendido incluso a alguien con pocas entendederas.
The Commission’s reply to my questions would have stunned even a simpleton.
Here is a PRO-tip to use the word: add corto de duro de before entendederas and it will emphasize the meaning!
Pronunciation:
en-ten-de-derh-as
