Question: why ca animals understand what humans say but humans cant understand what animals say?

good question. I think it might have something to do with the way we say it, rather than what we say. If you train an animal enough to associate a certain behaviour with a certain sound/word, then they know that they word/sound means they have to do that action. It doesn’t mean that they understand the words we are saying, but they are associating what we do/say with a particular behaviour. And sometimes we understand what animals are trying to say. When your dog/cat mews and whimpers around you when you’re in the kitchen, you know that they want feeding…
