In a dependable, trustworthy way
In a way that you can trust to work or be the same every time.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
to do [something] reliably
Συχνό λάθος:
Many learners confuse the adverb "reliably" with the adjective "reliable" and say things like "The machine is working very reliable" instead of "The machine is working very reliably". Remember: use "reliable" before a noun or after "be" (a reliable car), and use "reliably" to describe how something is done (The car starts reliably). Learners also sometimes say "I can reliably on him" instead of using the verb "rely" correctly: "I can rely on him."

|
steadily (Emphasizes being continuous and without sudden change, and may not always imply trustworthiness.)
Αντώνυμα
unreliably (Shows that something often fails or cannot be trusted to work or behave as expected.)

With consistent, accurate results
In a way that gives correct results again and again, so people can trust the test or method.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
[method/test/model] can reliably [verb] [something]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes use only "accurately" when they mean that a method is both correct and trustworthy over time, as in scientific writing. In many technical contexts, "reliably" is preferred when you want to stress that results are both accurate and repeatable, not just correct once.
Συνώνυμα
accurately (Focuses mainly on being correct; "reliably" adds the idea of being repeatable and trustworthy over time.)
|
consistently (Stresses sameness of results but does not always imply that the results are correct or scientifically valid.)
Αντώνυμα
inaccurately (Shows that measurements or predictions are not correct, and therefore cannot be trusted.)
|
unreliably (Highlights that results cannot be depended on because they may change or fail without warning.)
