Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "AH" (as in "art") + "ehn" (as in "egg") + "tehn" (as in "ten") + "DEHR" (as in "debt")/

Meaning

To hint at something without saying it directly, leaving a message between the lines. It depends on the other person being perceptive enough to catch what was never actually said out loud.

Examples

Me dio a entender que ya no le interesaba el proyecto.

He made it pretty clear he was done with the project, without coming out and saying it.

¿Qué te quiso dar a entender con eso?

What was he really trying to get at with that?

Regional synonyms
