jdm. Vertrauen schenken

to give/entrust someone with one's trust

Türkçe: birine güvenmek

Not jdm. Vertrauen geben

English says to give, so geben is the verb that comes to mind. German does not take it here. Vertrauen goes with schenken, and the pairing is fixed — it is not a rule you can work out, only one you can learn.

Noun

Vertrauen n.

Verb

schenken

Topic

Recht und Politik

In a sentence

Die Lehrerin schenkt ihrem Schüler nach der Entschuldigung wieder Vertrauen.

How it is used
