Look for non-verbal cues like body language, tone, or facial expressions that imply a hint.

Indirect Signals

Consider the situation and relationship to accurately interpret the hint being given.

Context Matters

Hints are often conveyed through choice of words or how something is said, rather than what is said.

Responding to a hint usually involves changing your behavior or taking a specific action.

Be cautious; acting on a hint you misinterpreted can lead to awkward situations.

Be aware that hints may vary across cultures; what's a hint in one culture may not be in another.
