How it's used
Focuses heavily on romantic or sentimental contexts where one person is trying to express affection or intimacy to another. It implies a deliberate act of communication, often through indirect means like gifts, music, or letters, rather than just saying I love you directly. It carries a slightly literary or poetic nuance compared to everyday verbs like 講.
Examples
He wrote me a letter, wanting to convey his feelings through words.

Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual or platonic situations, as it strongly implies romantic interest or a deep emotional connection. It is not a general term for communicating information or news.
