Meaning of "give someone intuition"

I learn English as a foreign language, and I recently found in online training videos phrases like

Let me give you some quick intuition ...

In my native languages (Ukrainian and Russian) you can use intuition, you can trust it, but you cannot give it to someone.

Can anyone please give me some information about this specific use of the word?


Solution 1:

To give someone intuition is to give him insight. Oftentimes, it's used with "into" like so:

Joe gave us intuition into the inner workings of the system.

However, I must say this is a pretty rare usage of the word. In most cases, English speakers also only use, trust and have intuition, not give it. "To give intuition (into)" is probably most often used these days in academic settings, in a research paper perhaps.
