Okay from your explanation this is what i understood:
"Convey" isn't the same as "saying" or "informing" because these terms mean exchanging information. However, "convey" functions to make sb else understand some meaning and the extent of that meaning, i.e. "convey" means to make sb else understand sth.

Hi again,
"Convey" isn't the same as "saying" or "informing" because these terms mean exchanging information.
Here is the basic idea about 'say' and 'inform'.
say - make words come out of your mouth
inform - tell someone something they need to know
In neither of these cases is there the inherent idea of exchanging. Rather, one person
