![]() ![]() ![]() Noble hearts are neither jealous nor afraid because jealousy spells doubt and fear spells pettiness. ![]() There is an expression, no doubt about it, which indicates that one has not a single doubt about some issue. First we have to understand what doubts and fears are, how anxiety and doubts and fears come about. I know in some cases this is first language interference, because speakers of Romance languages such as Italian, Spanish, and apparently Portuguese actually do say (in their language) the equivalent of I have a doubt, but this translates poorly to English. In English we don't normally say or think I have a doubt. In English, we ask questions when we are in doubt, or when we doubt something. But native English speakers would much more likely say I'm not sure about. You ask a question relevant to your doubt about some subject. But in English you do not say I have a doubt. If you are in doubt about something, it means you are not sure of the answer or solution. I have a doubt does not mean I have a question. ![]()
