"Entienda" is the polite imperative form.


And a little more clarification on "ser" and "estar":
"Ser" is usually used for permanent states of being, while "estar" is used for temporary states of being. One would say "Soy un hombre" - " I'm a man." In theory, being a man is a permanent state of being (though these days that can change). And one would say "Estoy feliz" - "I'm happy" because at this moment in time I'm happy. There are exceptions, but I can't think of any right now.
