Subject Connection
Think of 'relevant' as a bridge that connects your words to the main topic of discussion.

In science class, bringing up the recent experiment is relevant.
Exclude Irrelevance
Be cautious not to mention information that doesn't help progress the conversation or topic.

I didn't mention my vacation, as it wasn't relevant to the business meeting.
Stay on Point
Using 'relevant' keeps the focus sharp and discourages wandering off into unrelated subjects.

Let's keep our comments relevant, so we can finish the debate efficiently.
