implicate word
I understand "implicate' like: "The results implicate that they need to improve". But I also like to know other meanings. Can I use 'implicate in sense to annoy somebody, taunt someone, like this: "July implicates his brother about everything he says". Is that good? Is that make any sense or correct way to use implicate in sentence?
Top answer
No, that doesn't make sense. You could use "implicate" in the sense of giving some impression about someone or something. Bill said the thief drove a 2015 red Ford Ranger, which implicated me as the thief because that is the kind of vehicle I have.
