Also means
trust
Usage Note
Foi carries both religious belief and personal trust. The phrase de bonne foi ('in good faith') is common in legal and everyday contexts. Note the homophones fois (time, occasion) and foie (liver) — three words French speakers must distinguish entirely by context.
Examples
"Elle a une grande foi en lui."
Natural Translation
She has great faith in him.
