يشمل الدليل تلميحا.

Because Arabic very often uses verb–subject–object order, especially in simple statements.

So:

يشمل الدليل تلميحًا
= includes the guide a hint

In more natural English order, that becomes The guide includes a hint.

Arabic can also use subject–verb–object order:

الدليل يشمل تلميحًا

That is also correct. The difference is usually about style, emphasis, or flow, not a major change in basic meaning.

يشمل is a present-tense / imperfect verb, third person masculine singular.

It comes from the root ش م ل, which has meanings connected to including, encompassing, containing.

So يشمل means he includes, it includes, or it covers/includes, depending on context.

In this sentence, the subject is الدليل which is grammatically masculine singular, so يشمل matches it:

• يشمل = it includes
• الدليل = the guide / the manual / the evidence, depending on context

In fully vocalized Arabic, it would be يَشْمَلُ.

الدليل is the subject of the verb يشمل.

Even though it comes after the verb, it is still the subject. This is normal in Arabic verbal sentences.

In a fully vowelled version, it would be:

يَشْمَلُ الدَّلِيلُ تَلْمِيحًا

The ending -u on الدليلُ shows that it is nominative, which is the case usually used for the subject.

So:

• يشمل = verb
• الدليل = subject
• تلميحًا = direct object

Because تلميحًا is the direct object of the verb, so it is in the accusative case.

In fully vocalized Arabic, it is:

تَلْمِيحًا

The tanwīn fatḥ ending -an often marks an indefinite accusative noun.

So here:

• الدليلُ = subject, nominative
• تلميحًا = object, accusative

This is one of the very common patterns in Arabic grammar.

Arabic does not have an indefinite article like English a/an.

Instead:

• A noun with الـ is usually definite: the...
• A noun without الـ is usually indefinite: a/an...

So:

• الدليل = the guide / the evidence
• تلميحًا = a hint

The indefiniteness is built into the noun form itself, not expressed by a separate word.

Yes. الدليل can mean several things depending on context, including:

• the guide
• the manual
• the guidebook
• the evidence
• sometimes the proof

So the sentence could mean different things in different contexts. For example:

• in a documentation context: The guide includes a hint
• in a legal or logical context: The evidence includes an indication/hint

A learner should always check the surrounding context before choosing the best English translation.

A careful fully vocalized pronunciation is:

yashmalu ad-dalīlu talmīḥan

A few notes:

• يشمل = yashmalu
• الدليل = ad-dalīlu
  The l of الـ is assimilated here because د is a sun letter.
• تلميحًا = talmīḥan

If you pause at the end of the sentence, the final case ending is often not pronounced, so تلميحًا may sound more like talmīḥā or simply talmīḥ depending on the level of formality and recitation style.

Yes, absolutely.

Both are correct:

• يشمل الدليل تلميحًا
• الدليل يشمل تلميحًا

The first is a verbal sentence and begins with the verb.
The second is more like a subject-first structure.

In many contexts, the meaning is basically the same. The difference is mainly one of style, rhythm, and emphasis.

For a beginner, it is useful to recognize both patterns:

• verb first is very common in Arabic
• subject first is also common and often feels closer to English word order

Because normal Arabic writing usually leaves out most short vowels and case endings.

So you often see:

يشمل الدليل تلميحا

instead of the fully vocalized form:

يَشْمَلُ الدَّلِيلُ تَلْمِيحًا

Readers are expected to know the correct pronunciation from grammar, vocabulary, and context.

For learners, this means you often need to mentally supply:

• the verb vowel pattern
• the case ending
• sometimes even the exact meaning of a word from context

That is completely normal in Arabic texts.
