In taʿrīḍ, the overt words communicate an indirect message that depends strongly on addressee and circumstance, not only on a fixed lexical implication.
For example, telling someone «أَذَيْتَنِي فَسَتَعْرِفُ» (“You harmed me; you will come to know”) can, in context, convey reproach or warning beyond its explicit future statement.
One cannot classify this effect by dictionary meanings alone. The addressee, situation, and communicative purpose determine the insinuation.
