Preparatory consideration (and presupposition of the question): Persons with no respect for philosophy would never be able to approach determining this (or, indeed, any) conception in a way adequate to thought, for they have been overcome by the heritage of a bunk and vacant attack on definitions. They do not understand this, they have no ability to understand why they hold such prejudices, or why one need fight them, at ever turn, in order to steer them towards intelligent discussion; they are playthings of the heritage and its freight. This does not mean, of course, that for the intelligent, who understand the heritage, there is no difficulty with the old use of reason (giving reasons, speaking, writing sentences) towards principles ripped out of the human being put into the definition. Ergo, definitions are not used in the same way they once were (since they are means in the service of the investigation allowing the group to enter the investigation).
Some persons believe that Plato is more "intutional" than is Aristotle. What would that mean? Does it mean "woman's intuition" in the 1950's sense? Or, the Jungian intuition as a for-seeing? Or, inner intuition of ideal objects such as parallel lines? Or, the intuition of Bergson?
The standard meaning of intuition is brought out as a translation of the German anschauen, to see (the look of a thing), or to observe the look of the given (what is there). The paraphrase "to observe the look of the given" already speaks the distinction between a thing and the "seeing" as such (cf. Plato's Theaetetus). The split, and the speaking without the split "to see" (with no further addition), opens a space of exactitude of detail of the conception.
Intuition (as "to see"): not understanding, but seeing. Ergo, intuition as a counter conception to (immediate) understanding (i.e., intuition when it means "to observe the given". Intuition as "to see" is not intuition as Immediate understanding, i.e., Vernunft (cause).
"Guide...why don't you like Meno?"
"So words are intuitive rather than understanding oriented. Between philosophers, so that another can see the look of the given and guess then which given without the split it is. The other philosopher will be able to judge the quality of the first's understanding as opposed to intuition."
“Perhaps he was too young when he heard Socrate, had not a good grasp on the experience of understanding which requires a level of danger that a young aristocrat is less than often exposed to.”

For the reason that one has to vigorously fight with him to get him to do things which anyone with normal intelligence has a passion for of their own inclination. For instance, distinguishing the meaning of words through giving definitions or statements about what one means.

Aristocracy is not a class. Before "class" was concieved of, aristocracy already existed. Anyway, it was just speculation.
As far as intuition, I refer to your own exposition above.
Example, I intuit that this machine I am holding is a smartphone. Observing the look of the given.

That's a lot of work though. Defining the terms pretty much solves the whole debate. You're asking him to do all the heavy lifting.
“The heavy lifting is history's! Or genealogy, to be more precice.
I find Guide to be quite clear.
Defining terms is like trying to cheat them out of their genealogical burden. Best one can do is show what one can tell about a word, I find Guide does that.
Of course by asking me what intuit means in some or other context betrays him, buy nobody's perfect.
“
Intuition is precisely thus: Not the inability to distinguish meaning from definition ( of what it means ((the definition)), but the reduction to what the meaning may .or, should be, given the assumption of what it was intended for.
It is putting existence before existence could be defined as the proto conditional of what it means to "be'.

in·tu·i·tion
ˌint(y)o͞oˈiSH(ə)n/Submit
noun
the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.
"we shall allow our intuition to guide us"
synonyms: instinct, intuitiveness; More
a thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning.
plural noun: intuitions
Intuition is a process that gives us the ability to know something directly without analytic reasoning, bridging the gap between the conscious and nonconscious parts of our mind, and also between instinct and reason.
“Obviously understanding as you exposited does not do the same as intuition.”
Pedro I Rengel wrote:It is possible that a woman never understood anything and this is why they are so proficient at intuition.
“Is this your profound intuition speaking?
Perhaps that is because a woman realizes that intuition is not set in stone, it is not infallible, as our senses and our instincts are also not infallible.”
“Does intuition actually bring with it *understanding* or just a sense of something? Understanding to me means that we are *clear* about something, know it.”
“I am an agnostic but my intuition at times tells me that Something may be possible. Would you call this understanding? I would not. You can only go so far with intuition I think.”
Our intuitions can also be based on our built-in beliefs and fears and so we are not necessarily receiving clear and right signals from *below* or above, as the case may be.

The above definition to me almost sounds like intuition is a form of faith, where someone assumes to know something because they get that *sense* of it.
