reliable and deserving of trust
Able to be trusted because a person or thing is honest, reliable, or safe.
Schema d'uso:
[someone]/[something] is (not) trustworthy
Errore comune:
Learners sometimes say *"trustable"* instead of *"trustworthy"*. While understandable, *"trustworthy"* is the natural and common word in modern English. Another confusion is between *"trusted"* and *"trustworthy"*: *"trusted"* often describes something that people already trust (a trusted advisor), while *"trustworthy"* describes the general quality of deserving trust.
