HOW DO YOU SPELL the Italian word that sounds like "Capish" - (and means "Understood...?" or "Got it...?")

Capisce?

Capisce is an Italian word that initially became popular in English in the 1940s, popularized by Italian immigrants in America's eastern cities and by use in onscreen portrayals of Italian-Americans, often in organized crime rôles.

It means "Get it?" and comes from the Italian the verb capire, to understand. It is commonly mispelled and mispronounced, and has been rendered in English as "coppish," "capeesh," and "kapish,"[1] among other variations.

based on the verb "capire," meaning "to understand," and can be used as either a question or an answer.

Like many dialect words born in immigrant communities.
