Understading or comprehension?

Hi!

by closing an e-mail , when I usually write something unpleasant, I often write:

"thanks for the understanding"

"thanks for the comprehension"

Are both correct? the "THE" can be omitted?

Thanks

Pamela

Do you mean that the only correct to say is"Thanks for understanding"?

Thank you

Hi,

'Thanks for understanding' is OK.

But I usually see and write 'Thanks for your understanding'. It seems more personal.

No. As Clive says, you may wish to add "your".

Thanks! It is clear to me..

"Thanks for your comprehension" is not possible in any case?

Hi,

No, definitely not.

'Understanding' here has a meaning related to kindness and empathy.

'Comprehension' does not have that meaning.
