What does a strong chess move in chess imply?

When people say whether a move is either good or bad doesn't help me understand why they are good or bad. but what makes a move a strong move? 

 

Right off the bat I can assume a good move is a move that wins material or it gains positional advantage over the board but I could be completely wrong. 

 

I've watched naka explained his games on his stream to see if i can pick up his techniques but I can't seem to understand how he comes to those conclusions. It just seems like naka can calculate like a machine and calls out moves and stuff but it's not anywhere near how we normal people think.  

 

Can someone put some knowledge up in here?

You wrote only 4 paragraphs. They contain 5 sentences. Perhaps in one of those ?

So what you're saying is I had the answer this entire time and didn't realize it?

Strong moves are moves that make something else happen. They are not passive moves that just defend a piece or recapture. Strong moves shape the action of the game itself. Always look for strong moves, moves that make your opponent react. Sometimes, if you look hard enough, a move can simultaneously defend, attack and improve your position. Now that’s a strong move!

You sound like walter white. It just feels like whenevr I play, every move i decide to play causes some kind of reaction. So..
