On comprend tout de suite mieux pourquoi certaines personnes ne voudraient pas que ça se sache.
On comprend mieux tout de suite pourquoi certaines personnes ne voudraient pas que ça se sache.
In an instance like this, I always wonder which of the two adverbs in a row I should place first before the other.
The first adverb modifies the second one, so the two sentences have slightly different meanings.
Mieux comprendre = to better understand
On comprend mieux = one understands better
On comprend tout de suite mieux = right away, one understands better
On the other hand:
Comprendre tout de suite = to understand right away
On comprend tout de suite = one understands right away
On comprend mieux tout de suite = one understands better right away [than at another time]
With this sentence, "tout de suite mieux" is probably the one that makes sense, but here's another sentence in which the opposite would work:
Dépêche-toi, ça se mange mieux tout de suite.
Hurry up, it's better when you eat it right away.
Note putting the second adverb between commas can change the meaning. In such a situation the adverb might modify the entire sentence:
On comprend mieux, tout de suite, pourquoi c'est arrivé.
= Tout de suite, on comprend mieux pourquoi c'est arrivé.
