How to Say "you trust" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “you trust” is “confías” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
¿Confías en que él guardará el secreto?
Do you trust him to keep the secret?
Si confías en la tecnología, este coche conducirá solo.
If you trust the technology, this car will drive itself.
Tú siempre confías demasiado rápido en la gente.
You always trust people too quickly.
The Accent Mark Rule
The word 'confías' needs an accent mark over the 'i' to separate the sounds, forcing you to pronounce it as three distinct syllables: con-FEE-as. This accent is required in all forms except 'nosotros' and 'vosotros' in the present tense.
Required Preposition
When you say what or who you trust, the verb 'confiar' almost always requires the little word 'en' (in/on) immediately afterward. You cannot just say 'Yo confío mi amigo'.
Forgetting 'en'
Mistake: “Tú confías tus amigos.”
Correction: Tú confías **en** tus amigos. The Spanish verb needs 'en' to link the trusting action to the person or thing being trusted.
