To communicate means to convey information, thoughts, or feelings between people or groups. Communication consists of encoding a message, selecting a channel, and decoding by the recipient, with feedback and potential interference or noise affecting accuracy. Clarity, context, and shared conventions influence success across all modalities.

Common modalities include spoken and written language, nonverbal signals, and digital media such as email, text messaging, and social platforms. Types of communication include interpersonal, organizational, mass, and cross-cultural or multilingual communication.

Effective communication is essential in education, business, healthcare, and governance. Challenges include misinterpretation, language barriers, cultural differences, information overload, and misinformation. The word “comunicate” is not standard in English, but it may appear in Romanian contexts or as a brand name.
