Default Re: I can relate to

Hi fface,

To relate to something means that you can understand what something is like because you have had a similar experience.

For example, "I can relate to the character John in this book",means that John is maybe a similar age from a similar background and has similar problems to me, so I understand how he feels.

The problems in the book are typical teenage problems, therefore the teenagers can understand them better than maybe an older person could.

Hope that helps!
