Showing good and careful judgment, so that you make smart and sensible choices.
Vzorec užití:
be judicious in [doing something]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "judicious" with "judicial." "Judicious" means having or showing good judgment. "Judicial" relates to judges or the legal system (for example, a judicial decision). Learners may also overuse "judicious" in informal speech, where simpler words like "wise" or "sensible" are more natural.
