For my brother and father it is more like they understand emotions in themselves, and that other people feel emotions similarly, but have trouble identifying them or why they are happening in others because it is harder to take another person's perspective. Once they know that the person is upset, they empathize and feel bad, so they can in fact understand the person, but they could not guess that there was a problem withoute explicitly spelling it out, and could not derive it from any non-verbal cues.
