Able to be believed as true or likely.

استعمال کا انداز: [a claim/story/explanation] is credible

ہم معنی الفاظ
reliable (Broader and more everyday; can describe people, machines, or systems, not just information-givers.) | trustworthy (Focuses more on moral character and honesty than on professional reliability.)
متضاد الفاظ
unreliable (Suggests a person or source often fails or cannot be depended on.) | untrustworthy (Emphasizes that someone should not be trusted, especially morally.)

Good or strong enough that people must take it seriously as a real choice or competitor.

استعمال کا انداز: a credible [alternative/candidate/performance]
عام غلطی:

ہم معنی الفاظ
serious (Very common and broad; can mean emotionally serious, not just worthy of consideration.) | viable (More technical; stresses that something can really work in practice.)
متضاد الفاظ
weak (Suggests not strong enough to be considered a real option or competitor.) | unconvincing (Focuses on failing to persuade people that it should be taken seriously.)
