Translation of "understand" into Yoruba

In the 16th century, most people could not understand Latin.

Ní ọ̀rúndún kẹrìndínlógún, ọ̀pọ̀ jù lọ àwọn èèyàn ni kò gbédè Látìn.

I moved my mouth and emitted some sounds, but you couldn’t understand me.

Mo la ẹnu, mo sì dún bákan, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ mi kò yé yín.
