SEMANTIC DISTINCTION

• to-od = believe; obey

• mato-od = true; factually correct

• kamato’ran = truth; factual correctness

• osto = correct, fitting, proper, sufficient, just right

Rule of thumb:

• If something corresponds to reality, use mato-od.

• If referring to truth itself, use kamato’ran.

• If something is appropriate, fits, works, or is enough, use osto.

• If someone accepts or follows what is said, use to-od.
