I have stumbled a few times on the expression "capish" (I'm not sure how to spell it), if I'm not mistaken it's of Italian origin and means something like "you get it?". The question I have is how widely spread is it in modern American English?

Question

Answer

Capiche. It is Italian for “do you understand.” It is not widely used in the US, except for areas on the east coast (mostly NY & NJ) which have a larger population of Italian descendants.

Answer

Yes, it is very mafiosi, I think it is Capisce, which means “ do you understand?”
