What does" I can relate to that" mean? The Context: The professor said to a student," Too many of my students used to memorize small facts for a test and then forget all about the broad concepts. I want you to study the concepts so you will leave my class with a general perspective that you won't forget." And the student responded,"I can relate to that." But, what did he mean? I will be very grateful to all who provide help! Thank you!
