careful and hard-working (person)
Working hard and carefully for a long time, without giving up.
Padron ng paggamit:
[someone] is diligent (in/about [something])
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse "diligent" with "vigilant". "Diligent" means working hard and carefully, while "vigilant" means watching carefully to notice danger or problems. Learners also sometimes say "I am diligent to study"; it is more natural to say "I am diligent in my studies" or "I am diligent about studying."

|

Mga kasalungat

showing careful, thorough effort
Done in a careful and serious way, with a lot of steady work.
Padron ng paggamit:
a diligent [effort/search/review/investigation]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use "strong" or "big" instead of "diligent" for effort, saying "a strong effort" when they want to show careful and steady work. "Strong" focuses on power, while "diligent" focuses on careful, continuous work. Also, avoid "diligent work hard"; say "diligent work" or "work diligently."

thorough (Stresses completeness and attention to every part; may not always suggest long, steady effort as strongly as "diligent".)
|
careful (General word for avoiding mistakes or problems; does not always suggest persistence over time.)
|
meticulous (Stronger and often more formal; emphasizes extremely fine detail, sometimes more than "diligent".)
Mga kasalungat
careless (Describes work done without enough attention, the opposite of diligent effort or investigation.)
|
superficial (Describes work that only touches the surface and lacks depth, the opposite of a diligent, thorough approach.)
