đ Worth it?
#023
We get asked this question all the timeâŠ
Whatâs the difference between âworthâ and âworthyâ?
Letâs start with worth.
If something vale la pena, then âitâs worth it".
You can also use it with a noun or gerund:
Is the Easter Intensive Course worth doing?
Yes! It is worth the time, the money and the effort!
Simple, right?
Worthy on the other hand means, âdeserving ofâ or âcapable ofâ.
You might hear something like, âhe was a worthy leaderâ, or âit was a worthy causeâ. Meaning that they had the character or value required.
But most of the time it will be used at the end of an adjective:
Do you think they are trustworthy? (Deserving of your trust)
The car isnât roadworthy. (Capable of going on the road)
I hope that this was worth reading!

If itâs in the news then its ânewsworthyâ
