Today’s Parola del Giorno is the verb, apprendere, which can mean to hear, in the sense of coming to know or find out about something.  The past participle is appreso, and avere is used in compound tenses. See the verb used below in its context:

Marina: Hai appreso del diluvio previsto per la settimana prossima a Roma?

Enrico:  Mah! Secondo me è una fesseria però meglio prepararsi al peggio e portare un ombrello con sé.

Marina:  Did you hear about the flood forecasted for next week in Rome?

Enrico:  Eh!  In my opinion it is nonsense but better to prepare oneself for the worst and bring an umbrella.
