When you see a cloudy sky, you might feel that it’s going to rain soon. No one told you directly, but you just kind of know because it’s something you’ve seen before. That’s what implicit means. It’s like when you understand something without anyone having to say it out loud.
Think of it like a secret handshake with your best friend. You both know what it means, but you don’t have to talk about it every time you do it. It’s like a special understanding between you two.
Imagine you’re playing a game where you have to read each other’s faces to guess what the other person is thinking. You might see a little smile and know they’re happy, or a frown and know they’re upset. You didn’t need words to figure it out; you just knew by looking.
Or think about when you’re reading a story and you can tell that a character is sad, even if the book doesn’t say, ‘He is sad.’ Maybe it describes him sitting alone with a frown, and you just understand. That’s understanding something implicitly.
