Confianza

Confianza means"unshakable, firm belief in someone". 

 

It suggests that a person holds something "down to the spiritual marrow" and a sacredness to the material that is being protected. 

 

If you want to express unwavering support for a person, say that you have confianza.

Confiança é a chave de tudo. tem que confiar na sua capacidade, no seu amor, no seu trabalho, e principalmente em estar fazendo a coisa certa. Belo tabblo.

As far as I'm concerned, that's just part of the package when you consider someone a true friend, and I consider you Eduardo as one, so, I have confianza in you. :) Wonderful photograph to pair with this definition too. Even though the wood of the retaining fence is old and worn, it looks like it held that bank in place for a very long time, and will probably do so for a number of years yet.

Confianza... en castellano llano. Confianza y confiable, confiar en alguien, en algo. Tiene que ver con esa paz que refleja la foto, seguro: confianza de sombra, de vida -de sol- y de protección. Lástima que no sea tan fácil encontrar confianza, sentir confianza en alguien, como encontrar un árbol en el campo...
