    What's the difference between cinstit and cumsecade?

      „Cinstit” is the better translation for honest, whereas „cumsecade” means more than just „cinstit”. They are synonymous, just not perfect synonyms.

              " honest " should be transated by "onest" or "cinstit". "Cumsecade" refers to an expression, such as "as is fits" or something like that... for it is the combination of "cum + se + cade".

                I agree with "onest" and "cinstit" being better translations for "honest." "Cumsecade" describes a person who is good and does things the right way or the proper way, the way things should be done.
