Card 16
Question
schlussfolgern
Answer
to infer
The use of infer to mean imply is becoming more and more common in both speech and writing. There isnevertheless a useful distinction between the two which many people would be in favour of maintaining. To infer means'to deduce', and is used in the construction to infer something from something: I inferred from what she said that she hadnot been well. To imply (sense 1) means 'to suggest, to insinuate' and is normally followed by a clause: are you implyingthat I was responsible for the mistake?
