The word "indicate" means to show or demonstrate. As a teacher, I use indicate fairly often in videos and in lessons when explaining the function of verbs and adjectives:
The verb "be" indicates the verb tense in this sentence: Dinner is served at 6:00.(This sentence is in the present tense as indicated by the verb "be": is.
Here are some more examples:

All the facts are indicating that this man is guilty.
His chart indicates that sales for the company are improving.
The noun form is "indication."
These sales figures are an indication of strong growth.
