Implieeritud

Implieeritud is an Estonian adjective meaning "implied" or "implicit." It is formed from the verb implieerida and is used to describe information, conclusions, or properties that are not stated directly but can be inferred from context, rules, or definitions. The related noun form can refer to an implication or an implicated meaning in a given discussion.

In logic and mathematics, implieeritud content describes statements or conclusions that follow from the given premises. If the premises logically entail a conclusion, that conclusion is considered implieeritud. For example, from all humans are mortal and Socrates is a human, the statement that Socrates is mortal is implieeritud by the premises.

In linguistics and communication, implieeritud content refers to information conveyed without being explicitly stated. This includes implicatures, presuppositions, or contextual inferences that listeners or readers are expected to recognize. For instance, a remark such as "The door is open" can imply that someone left the door ajar or may suggest a potential security concern, depending on context; the implied meaning is implieeritud rather than directly asserted.

Usage and nuance. Implieeritud typically contrasts with explicit statements, highlighting what is suggested rather than openly declared. It is a common term in Estonian academic writing, philosophy, logic, and rhetoric to discuss underlying assumptions, hidden premises, or inferred meanings within a discourse.
