AaSpelling
dis·trust·ful
?Which word?
Keep apart distrust (a general lack of trust, often based on reasons) and mistrust (a feeling of doubt).
Distrust (प्रायः कारणों पर आधारित विश्वास की कमी) और mistrust (संदेह का भाव) को अलग रखिए।
Keep the suspicious words together: distrustful, suspicious, wary (careful because of possible danger), sceptical (doubting claims), cynical (believing people act only for themselves).
संदेह के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: distrustful, suspicious, wary (संभावित खतरे से सावधान), sceptical (दावों पर संदेह), cynical (यह मानना कि लोग केवल अपने लिए करते हैं)।
§Grammar and usage
Distrustful of sb (not 'about').
Usage: distrustful के बाद preposition 'of' आता है, 'about' नहीं; जैसे 'distrustful of strangers' (अजनबियों पर भरोसा न करने वाला)।
