喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Shady has two common meanings. First, a shady place has shade — the sun is blocked, often by trees, so it feels cool and dark there. That meaning is simple and pleasant: 'Let's sit under that shady tree.' Second, and very common in speech, 'shady' describes a person, business, or plan that seems dishonest or a little illegal — not clearly a crime, but suspicious, like something is being hidden. 'That guy seems shady' means you don't trust him.
