show or prove something is true
To show clearly that something is true or real.
استعمال کا انداز:
[something] attests to [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use 'attest' for everyday ideas like 'I can attest your English is good.' In casual speech, 'show' or 'prove' is more natural. Also, in this sense, the subject is usually the evidence itself (e.g., 'The data attest to the problem'), not a person giving an opinion.
ہم معنی الفاظ
demonstrate (More general and less formal; often used for showing something by example or experiment.)
متضاد الفاظ
contradict (Suggests that the evidence shows the opposite of a claim rather than supporting it.)

declare formally that something is true
To say in a serious or official way that something is true.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] attests that [clause]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use 'attest' like 'say' in normal conversation, for example: '*He attested he was tired.*' In everyday speech, 'say' or 'claim' is better. 'Attest' is usually formal and often appears in legal, business, or official contexts, frequently followed by 'that' or 'to' (e.g., 'attest that the account is correct').
ہم معنی الفاظ
certify (Often more official or bureaucratic, especially for documents or qualifications.)
متضاد الفاظ
deny (Directly refuses to say that something is true, instead saying it is not true.)

witness and sign a document
To sign a paper to show you saw someone sign it, or to show it is real.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] attests [a document or signature]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse this legal sense with simply 'sign.' To 'attest' a document is to sign as a witness or official, not as the main person the document is about.
ہم معنی الفاظ
witness (Common legal verb meaning to observe and sign; slightly broader and often less formal outside legal writing.)
متضاد الفاظ
invalidate (Means to make a document not valid or not legally effective, which is the opposite of confirming its validity.)
