get the message

/ɡɛt ðə mˈɛsɪdʒ/

[phrase]

to get the message

[PHRASE]

to understand the implied meaning behind an action or statement

Examples

1. To turn things around, you have to convert your product's old-fashioned image into something new, and make sure consumers get the message.

2. Because again, the more people you get the message out to, the better your chances.

3. But, at the same time, I also recognise and I hope that I hope you all recognise, who weren't aware of this, that sometimes it's not always possible to do that and can be a little unsafe and, in order to be able to get the message out but also be safe about it, sometimes online activism is the way to go.

4. I do too, but what good is my video if I don't get the message that I want to get across, across.
