Common mistakes

Not natural: I have a faith in my friends.

Better: I have faith in my friends.

Faith is usually uncountable when it means trust or belief, so do not use “a” here.

भरोसे या विश्वास के अर्थ में faith आम तौर पर uncountable होता है, इसलिए यहाँ “a” नहीं लगाते।

Not natural: She has faith on her team.

Better: She has faith in her team.

Use “faith in” to name the person or thing you trust; “faith on” is not the usual pattern.

जिस व्यक्ति या बात पर भरोसा हो, उसके लिए “faith in” कहते हैं; “faith on” सामान्य प्रयोग नहीं है।
