Anita implied that she wanted to eat ice cream, but she didn't want to ask for it. Based on the sentence above, what does implied mean?

Imply means to communicate an idea or feeling without saying it directly.

Anita probably said: "I'm hungry, I would like to eat something cold". Or maybe she said: "It's been months since last time I've eaten an ice cream!" In those ways, she suggested eating an ice cream without saying it literally.
