"Δεν ξέρω γιατί δεν τον εμπιστεύονται."

Translation: I don't know why they don't trust him.

I wrote: "I don't know why they don't believe him" Shouldn't that be accepted?

yes, it's in the hints but not the sentence. it's added now. Thank you. Believe it or not there were 29 different possibilities and the clearest was missing. :-)))

What about "I don't know why he is not trusted". Where does"they" come here. Is it assumed?

[G.Georgopoulos]

Εμπιστεύονται=They trust

[rintumathu]

Thank you

εμπιστευονται - can it be translated as beeing trusted, or trusted?

[D_..]

Εμπιστεύομαι means to trust someone and it only works with this structure, it does not have an alternative voice form. Therefore, to be trusted by someone is (το) να με/σε/τον εμπιστεύεται κάποιος. Which is Κάποιος με/σε/τον εμπιστεύεται or Κάποιος εμπιστεύεται εμένα/εσένα/αυτόν, i.e. the original subject-verb-object structure. (I think that was the question?)

what would the rest of this conjugation look like (I trust, you trust etc)? εμπιστεύομαι and then? thanks.
