Learn English – Is there one word that means “does not imply” or “does not automatically mean”

I'm looking for one word that would more succinctly mean "does not mean" or "does not imply" or "does not predetermine." There are plenty of synonyms for "imply" or "predetermine," but not one word alone that fits the void.

The sentence would be as follows: I don't believe you should do X, but that does not automatically mean that I think you should do Y.

Even a re-arrangement of the sentence would be fine if a single word does not exist to convey the meaning.

Best Answer

I suggest using a negated form of imply

imply

verb (used with object), im·plied,im·ply·ing.

to indicate or suggest without being explicitly stated

So you might say something like:

I suggest you do x, but that does not imply you should do y
