Easy-to-understand is a form of communication that uses linguistic and non-linguistic signs with specific rules in many cases. Easy-to-understand communication uses linguistic and non-linguistic cues of each language to develop and convey the message. Unique application means that the level of comprehension of the people involved in communication determines the level of communication that is easy to understand. We can adjusts the range of applicable grammatical and other rules accordingly. Participants in easy-to-understand communication consciously or spontaneously apply the rules of message formation that appear in the communication situation (Rita Farkasné Gönczi, 2021/b).
