in a way not directly stated

In a way that is not said clearly with words, but is understood from the situation or from what is said.

用法パターン: to say [something] implicitly; to be implicitly understood
よくある間違い:
Learners often confuse "implicitly" with "explicitly." "Implicitly" means the message is hidden or suggested, while "explicitly" means it is clear and directly stated. Spelling mistakes like *implicitely* are also common.
類義語
indirectly (Focuses on the manner of communication; can be physical or structural as well, not only about meaning or implications.) | tacitly (Often used for agreement or approval that is unspoken but understood, slightly more formal.)
対義語
explicitly (Directly and clearly stated in words, with no need to read between the lines.) | directly (Without hiding or softening the message; the opposite of hinting or implying.)

completely and without question

In a way that shows full trust or agreement, without asking questions or having doubts.

用法パターン: to implicitly trust [someone]; to implicitly follow [something]
よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes think this meaning is about being "hidden" or "not stated," like the more common sense of "implicitly." In this sense, it instead shows the *degree* of trust or belief (total, without question).
類義語
completely (Very general; can describe many kinds of total degree, not only trust or belief.) | unquestioningly (Stresses that no questions are asked and no doubts are shown; close in meaning but focuses more on behavior than inner feeling.)
対義語
skeptically (Shows doubt and questioning instead of full trust.) | conditionally (Trust or agreement is limited and depends on certain conditions, opposite of full, open trust.)
