1
confident courage to take risks
The quality of being very confident and not afraid to do new, difficult, or risky things.
الگوی کاربرد:
the boldness to [do something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse 'boldness' with only physical courage. In modern usage it often means a confident, risk-taking attitude in speaking, thinking, or acting, not just in physical danger. Also, learners may say *'a boldness to do'*; the more natural pattern is 'the boldness to do [something]'.
هممعنیها
bravery (Focuses more on not feeling fear in dangerous situations, while 'boldness' also includes confident, risk-taking behavior in everyday life.)
متضادها
timidity (Describes being shy, afraid, or unwilling to take risks, which is the opposite of confident boldness.)
