How it's used
Focuses on the act of conveying information from a third party rather than simply speaking. It implies a neutral stance where the speaker is acting as a bridge or messenger. It is frequently used in professional or formal contexts to clarify that the speaker is not the original source of the information.
Examples
I am just relaying his message; the content has nothing to do with me.
Can you help me pass this message on to him?

Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual, intimate settings where 講畀人聽 or 帶句說話 is much more natural. Using 轉述 between friends can sound overly clinical or like you are distancing yourself from the message.
