Notes
传达 implies a clear and accurate transmission of information, often with the expectation that the receiver understands and acts accordingly. It differs from simpler verbs like 说 (to say) or 告诉 (to tell) by emphasizing the process of communication and the importance of the content being passed on.
Avoid confusing 传达 with 传送, which often refers to physical delivery or transmission of objects or data rather than information or messages.
