send data, messages, or signals
To send information, data, or a signal from one place or device to another, usually using machines or electricity.
用法パターン：
to transmit [data/information/signal] (to [someone] / from [device] to [device])
よくある間違い：
Learners often confuse "transmit" with "transfer". "Transmit" is usually about sending signals or information over a distance (often electronically), while "transfer" is about moving something from one place/person to another, often in a more physical or direct way (e.g., transfer files to a USB drive, transfer money between accounts).

pass on a disease or infection
To make a disease or infection move from one person or animal to another person or animal.
用法パターン：
to transmit [a disease/virus/infection] (to [someone] / from [source] to [target])
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes say "the disease transmits" instead of "the disease is transmitted" or "people transmit the disease". Remember that usually a person, animal, or insect transmits the disease, and the disease itself is transmitted.
類義語
spread (More general and common; can be used for diseases but also for ideas or things.)
|
pass on (A more informal phrasal verb used especially in everyday speech about illness.)
対義語
contain (Means to stop a disease from spreading to more people.)

pass on knowledge or culture
To give or pass ideas, traditions, or feelings from one person or group to another, often over time.
用法パターン：
to transmit [knowledge/values/traditions/feeling] (to [someone] / from [generation] to [generation])
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use "teach" when they want the idea of passing something between generations or groups over time. "Teach" is about giving lessons, while "transmit" focuses on the movement of culture, values, or feelings from one person or generation to another, often not through formal lessons.
類義語
convey (Similar meaning but slightly less formal; often about expressing ideas or feelings.)
|
pass on (More informal and everyday; common when talking about giving knowledge or traditions to others.)

用法パターン：
