What is tacit meaning?

Tacit meaning refers to the implied or hidden meaning that is not explicitly stated but is intended to be understood. It is conveyed through hints, context, body language, tone of voice, and other nonverbal cues. Tacit meaning often relies on shared understanding between the communicator and the receiver, making it highly dependent on cultural and social contexts. It can sometimes be difficult to decode and requires the interpreter to possess a certain level of cultural literacy and contextual knowledge. Tacit meaning can include nuances, assumptions, and emotional connotations that are not always apparent in the literal or surface level of language.
