How to use 传达
传达 is used for passing on messages, instructions, feelings, or ideas, often in work or formal settings like relaying a boss's orders. It can also mean conveying a feeling or meaning through art or words. Example: 请把这个消息传达给大家。(Qǐng bǎ zhège xiāoxi chuándá gěi dàjiā.) Please pass this news on to everyone.
传 (chuán) means to pass along, and 达 (dá) means to reach, as in 到达 (dàodá). Something is passed along until it reaches the other person, so 传达 means to convey or relay.
Common mistake: Learners often mix up 传达 and 表达 (biǎodá). 表达 is expressing your own thoughts, while 传达 is passing on something, often from someone else. Also note that 传 here is read chuán, not zhuàn as in 传记 (zhuànjì).
