Suggested entry: 暗示的, implicitly

暗示的知識 came up in Let's Talk In Japanese podcast E346 but i couldn't find 暗示 in Jisho. There are some synonyms, but not this specific one.

You couldn't find 暗示?

It has "implication" listed in the entry. You can basically add 的 to things endlessly, so not everything that gets put together like that needs its own entry.

Odd. I can't explain how I couldn't get to that.
明示的 has an entry, but 暗示的 doesn't.
Searching "implicit" or "implicitly" doesn't bring up 暗示.
Oh well.

的 makes an adjective, so 暗示的 would be "suggestive." Add に to get an adverb 暗示的に for "implicitly."
