?Which word?

Do not confuse distrust and mistrust: they mean almost the same, but distrust often suggests a reason or past experience, while mistrust can be a vague, general suspicion.

Distrust और mistrust को आपस में न मिलाइए: दोनों का अर्थ लगभग एक है, पर distrust में अक्सर किसी कारण या पिछले अनुभव का भाव होता है, जबकि mistrust एक अस्पष्ट, सामान्य संदेह हो सकता है।
