Ali je čudno reči earnnamesto Gain?

Odgovor maternega govorca

Tukaj lahko uporabite earnnamesto gain! Zato je dovolj naravno, da pišemo earn their trust, in obe besedi se lahko v teh situacijah uporabljata zamenljivo. Primer: I tried to gain their trust by giving them gifts. = I tried to earn their trust by giving them gifts. (njihovo zaupanje sem želel pridobiti z darilom) Primer: She gained their support by telling them about the initiative. = She earned their support by telling them about the initiative. (podporo je dobila s pogovorom o načrtu) => ni zelo naraven stavek, saj ga osebno ni plačala
