「伝える」・・・聞き手が内容を受け取ることを意図した動作。
例:「彼にメッセージを伝えた。」・・・「彼」はそのメッセージの内容を知っているはず。知らなければ「伝えた」ことにならない。
「言う」・・・聞き手が聞いているかどうかは(動詞としては)どうでもよい。

伝えるis to tell something.
So you can’t do it alone.
言うmeans to “say”

@ReasM
彼に今日の天気を伝えた。
I told him today’s weather.
私は猫が好きだと言った。
I said that I like cats.
I think “伝える”has a stronger emotion to tell someone than 言う。

When we “伝える” we need a person to tell about it.
We can just say “I like cats” even when nobody is listening.
