1
implied, not stated directly
Not said in a clear way, but understood from the situation or from what is said.
Vzorec užití:
implicit in [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse "implicit" with "explicit". "Implicit" means something is suggested but not said directly, while "explicit" means it is stated in a clear and direct way. Learners may also try to use "implicit" as an adverb; the correct adverb is "implicitly" (e.g. "implicitly criticize").
Synonyma
implied (Very close in meaning; slightly more common in everyday speech than "implicit".)

|
unstated (Focuses on the fact that something is not actually said or written.)
|
unspoken (Suggests something is understood but deliberately not talked about.)
Antonyma
explicit (Stresses that something is clearly and directly stated, the opposite of being implied.)
|
stated (Opposes the idea of being left unsaid by focusing on what is clearly expressed.)

2
complete and unquestioning (trust, faith)
So strong and complete that you do not question or doubt it, usually about trust, faith, or obedience.
Vzorec užití:
implicit [trust/faith/obedience] in [someone/something]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse this meaning with the "not stated" meaning and use "implicit" where "implied" is better. In phrases like "implicit trust" or "implicit faith", the idea is not about being unstated, but about the trust or faith being complete and unquestioning.
Synonyma
absolute (Emphasises total, complete trust or faith with no limits.)
|
unquestioning (Highlights that no questions or doubts are raised.)
|
unreserved (Focuses on giving trust or support fully, without holding anything back.)
Antonyma
conditional (Trust or support that depends on certain conditions, not complete like implicit trust.)
|
doubtful (Shows uncertainty or lack of confidence, the opposite of firm, implicit trust or faith.)
