Is the meaning of this phrase correct?


I want to say the phrase "I can understand about 60% of the content of this
video" in japanese. I translated it to:

このビデオの内容は６０％ぐらい分かれます。

Is this correct?




First off your attempt:

> このビデオの内容は６０％ぐらい分かれます。

This attempt is incorrect but probably comprehensible to your listener. First,
there is no possibility conjugation of 分かる or if you prefer 分かる like 入る
already includes the normal sense of possibility in it.

Second, let's think about the aspect you're stating this in. 60% means that
you're either measuring how much you believe you've understood (in the past)
or you're estimating it in an ongoing fashion.

Third, stating 60% by itself might sound a bit overly-precise, so it seems
wise to use a couching expression (ぼかし表現) to make this a bit softer.

So I might suggest:

> このビデオは６割ぐらいわかりました。

= I understood about 60% of the video.

or

> このビデオの内容はほぼ６０％理解できる。

= I am able to understand about 60% of the video's contents.
