Is there a Japanese universal verb for "imply"?


Very often I want to express an idea of "X is implied in Y", e.g.

> Is "I" implied in the following sentence?

Google translate tool offers the following:

> 「私」は次の文で暗示されていますか？

Three-part question:

  1. Does Google translation correctly expresses the idea?

  2. Is it possible to use the verb 仄めかす in this case?

> 「私」は次の文で仄めかされていますか？

  3. Is there a better way to express "Is X implied in Y"?




１． I don't think 「『私』は次の文で暗示されていますか？」 is a very good translation for "Is 'I'
implied in the following sentence?".

２． 「『私』は次の文で仄めかされていますか？」 doesn't sound too good to me, either.

３． How about using 「[含意]{がんい}する/される」?

> 「YにXは含意され（てい）ますか？」 "Is X implied in Y?"  
>  「YはXを含意し（てい）ますか？」 "Does Y imply X?"

I don't think 含意する would be a universal word for "imply". I just think 含意する
would fit your example here.
