Italian word

implicare

to imply; to involve, to implicate

Looks like

implicate

to show or suggest that someone is involved in a crime

⚠️ The trap

In Italian 'implicare' means both to imply AND to involve (in the sense of entailing or requiring something). 'Il progetto implica un grande sforzo' = 'The project involves/entails a great effort'. Don't confuse with the English 'implicate' which is specifically about incriminating someone.

To say "to show or suggest that someone is involved in a crime" in Italian:

implicare (both to imply and to implicate)

"implicare" in English means:

to imply; to involve, to implicate

Example

"Questo lavoro implica molta responsabilità."

"This job involves/implies a lot of responsibility."
