In ObjC it would be send the message y with value z to object X
Say X doesn't know what to do with y
specified in X's code are instruction that tell it what object to pass 
the message y to...say...U for example
So the message has been passed and basically translates into U.y(z) or 
in ObjC [U y:z]
