Relationships and support
Name trust, support, disagreement, compromise, and reconciliation.
Understand the choice
Constructive language names an interaction rather than judging the person. A nieporozumienie may cause konflikt, while szacunek and wsparcie enable compromise and pojednanie.
Core rule: Mieć zaufanie do, liczyć na wsparcie, być w konflikcie, and osiągnąć kompromis are relationship phrases.
Notice it in context
Mimo nieporozumienia nadal mamy do siebie zaufanie.
Despite the misunderstanding, we still trust each other.
Mimo takes genitive nieporozumienia; zaufanie is object of mamy; do siebie completes it.
Wsparcie i szacunek wzmacniają więź.
Support and respect strengthen the bond.
Wsparcie, szacunek, and więź appear directly.
Konflikt kończy kompromis i pojednanie.
A compromise and reconciliation end the conflict.
Konflikt, kompromis, and pojednanie name tension and resolution.
What to remember
- Ufać komuś takes dative; zaufać is perfective.
- Wspierać means support; znosić tolerates/endures.
Common trap: Do not translate trust with wierzyć in every context; ufać is trust.
