Vroiam să scriu " confidence " dar văd că deja a fost menționat acest cuvânt, ar merge mai bine decât " trust"...
Lara Barnett May 20, 2014:
@ Rodica I agree that without context Claudia's comment could be the best option. However, seeing as we do not know the context, and seeing as there is a slight difference in nuance between "trust", "faith" and "confidence", how would we know? I am only speaking from the point of view of growing up in an English speaking country where the people who may read the translations which go through Proz, are also from English speaking countries.
RODICA CIOBANU May 20, 2014:
pierderea interesului si increderii comentariul Claudiei de la 14,28 mi se pare cea mai potrivita varianta.
Lara Barnett May 20, 2014:
@ Claudia "Faith" has many uses. It is not just used in religion: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/faith?s=t

Sometimes the context and/or sentence structure requires alternatives to the literal/dictionary translations of a term. "Faith" is often used as a synonym for "confidence" i.e. to lose confidence or to lose faith in a company or product is often used in UK and US English.

Lara the field is: International Org/Dev/Coop / management ... Not so sure we can talk about "faith"...
Lara Barnett May 20, 2014:
context I think more context is needed. "Trust" could be correct, but so could "faith". Context might shine more light.

Da, mi se pare in regula loss of interest and trust/loss of trust and interest...

This is one alternative. It would cover both nuances of "faith" and "trust" in my opinion.

2. A trusting relationship: I took them into my confidence.
