Short answer: It means "To show".
Here's an example of a natural way to use "indicate",
"The dark grey clouds in the sky indicates that it's going to rain soon."
"The way my friend walked that day indicated that he was nervous."
•The word "show/shows/showed" would've been perfectly acceptable in these sentences too.
BUT for example:
"Show me your tattoo"
This is a perfectly correct sentence.
"Indicate your tattoo"
This is also technically correct ,but it sounds a little too formal for any use.
Indicate is very commonly used for those lights on cars which shows whether a car is going left or right (known as blinkers in other regions).
These are know as Indicators. So to indicate means to use the indicators in a car to show whether you're going left or right.
*In summary
>Indicate means to show/point out something.
>It is more commonly used when you are talking about something/ a situation, and not really used (as much) in direct conversation.
E.g.
-"Walk away to indicate that you want no part of the conversation."("show" can work aswell)
-"He indicated where he was."("showed me" can work too.)
>To indicate can also mean to use the 'indicators' in a vehicle.
