Interpret means to understand the meaning of something or explain it to others. For example, he interpreted the verses means he understood what they meant, or she interpreted the message for her friend means she explained what it meant. It can also mean to change spoken words from one language to another, like he interpreted English into Spanish. It can also mean to understand someone’s actions or feelings in your own way, like I interpret his silence as sadness, meaning I think his quietness shows he feels sad. It can describe explaining art, language, signs, or someone’s feelings.
