How to use 体会
体会 is used for understanding that comes from personal experience, not just from reading or being told. It works as a verb and as a noun, and often appears in phrases like 深有体会 (deeply understand from experience) or 谈谈体会 (share what you learned). Example: 当了妈妈以后，我才体会到父母的辛苦。 (Dāng le māma yǐhòu, wǒ cái tǐhuì dào fùmǔ de xīnkǔ.) Only after becoming a mother did I truly feel how hard my parents worked.
体 (tǐ) is the body, as in 身体 (shēntǐ), and 会 (huì) means to be able to or to understand. When your body goes through something and you come to understand it, you 体会 it.
Common mistake: Learners often use 体会 where 知道 (zhīdào) fits better. 体会 is for something you feel or grasp through experience, so 我体会他的电话号码 sounds wrong. Also note that 会 here is huì, not kuài as in 会计 (kuàijì).
