AAE Q152: Imply

Hi

What's the meaning of imply?

Thank you so much

Rachid


Hi Rachid,

Imply
  1. to suggest that sth is true or that you feel or think sth, without saying so directly. Are you implying (that) I am wrong?
  2. to make it seem likely that sth is true or exists syn suggest. The survey implies (that) more people are moving house than was thought.
  3. (of an idea, action, etc.) to make sth necessary in order to be successful. The project implies an enormous investment in training.
Thanks

M
