Take something in and understand something

Hi teachers.

I found 'take something in' and is defined as " to https://dictionary.cambridge.org/ko/%EC%82%AC%EC%A0%84/%EC%98%81%EC%96%B4/completely https://dictionary.cambridge.org/ko/%EC%82%AC%EC%A0%84/%EC%98%81%EC%96%B4/understand the https://dictionary.cambridge.org/ko/%EC%82%AC%EC%A0%84/%EC%98%81%EC%96%B4/meaning or https://dictionary.cambridge.org/ko/%EC%82%AC%EC%A0%84/%EC%98%81%EC%96%B4/importance of something"

I am wondering how different it is from 'understand, or get something.'

Can this be used like 'Do you understand? I don't get it?'

I found some examples in dictionaries, but I don't exactly know whether they are interchangeable or not.

Thank you in advance.
