Hi,

My dictionary says that «a man of his word» means that he keeps his promise. But I think a lot of people would use «a man of his words» to mean the same.

Which is right?

Thanks in advance.

    • #2

    I’ve heard both in AE, but I sense that word(singular) is more common.

    • #3

    «Word.» It’s a set phrase. «His word» means the things he asserts. It’s not used in the plural in this sense.

    Packard


    • #4

    A man of words = A person who speaks or writes well.

    A man of his word = A person who keeps his promises.

    • #5

    Thank you, Prawer and Pob14.

    I can find so many people using «a man of his words», so let me ask you if there is some difference in nuance between the two.

    I guess plural often indicates stronger meaning such as «Many thanks», «Best regards» and so on.

    Is it ok to think that «a man of his words» connotes he keeps his promise more accurately than «a man of his word» ?

    Thanks in advance.

    • #6

    Taked,

    I don’t think the plural would be used to intensify the meaning, and I do sense like (pob14 and Packard) that «man of his word» is the preferred alternative. But I also think many people use «a man of his words» to indicate the same meaning as «a man of his word.»

    • #7

    Thank you, Prawer.

    And thank you,Packard. After posting, I came to notice you have posted.

    Thanks again for your kindness.

    Hi, everyone

    I have a follow-up question for you.

    If a man of his word means he keeps his promises, can I say I’m a man of my word to mean I am a person who always keep my promises. The question may sound a little silly, if you want to laugh, feel free to laugh, I’ve noticed that it’s regarded as a set phrase, so I’m not really sure if the subject can be changed to I, or she.

    Thanks

    Packard


    • #9

    Yes. You can say «I’m a man of my word. [I keep my promises].»

    • #10

    Yes. You can say «I’m a man of my word. [I keep my promises].»

    Thank you

    It isn’t a silly question at all, Steven.

    He’s a man of his word. :tick:
    She’s a woman of her word.:tick:
    They are men of their word, we are men of our word, etc.:tick: I wouldn’t use the plural «words», even with a plural subject, as I prefer to stick to the set phrase.

    natkretep


    • #12

    I don’t recall hearing the phrase used with the plural words. Like veli, I prefer to stick to the set phrase. There are also other phrases with the singular word, eg ‘my word is my bond’, ‘to give somebody your word’, ‘to keep your word’, etc. They don’t work with words.

    • #13

    Thank you both, velisarius and natkretep for your help!

    Hello there,
    a man of his word
    I’ve been thinking about this phrase for a while and I’ve asked myself a question: What one word would you use to say the same thing? Obviously I’ve consulted a few dictionaries and this is what I found: dependable, reliable. Is there any other word that describes a person who keeps their promises? Dependable and reliable seem too all-encompassing, if I may say so.
    Cheers

    Roxxxannne

    He’s/she’s trustworthy, she/he has integrity.

    Thank you. I’m much obliged.
