indication versus clues Explanation: In the same order as the German. That's how I would make the distinction under normal circumstances. But yuu're offering few "clues" as to their use in context -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2017-07-31 14:53:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In fact, we have received neither sufficient indication (Hinweise) nor any clues (Anhaltspunkte) as to their uses in context. Hinweise are specific pointers or instructions; Anhaltspunkte could be anything that sheds some light, when you're poking around in the dark.. |

Hinweis auf versus Anhaltspunkt für suggestion of vs. evidence for Explanation: I'm not sure that this is what you are looking for. The prepositions in the English are essential to the meaning. Benefit qualification is not a simple task: http://www.imi-protect.eu/documents/ShahruletalReviewofmetho... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2017-08-01 07:37:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Perhaps 'evidence of', depending on context. |
