Welcome to the forum, Hadi Halim.

A search here, at OneLook: General dictionary sites will tell you that 'trustness' does not appear in any of the dictionaries, though 'trustiness' does. Further searching will show you that trust is itself a noun.

Hi. Can we use the suffix "-ness" for the word [STRIKE]TRUST[/STRIKE] "trust"? [STRIKE]TRUSTNESS[/STRIKE] "Trustness"?

Welcome to the forum. Please see the corrections I have made to your post. Please remember the rules of written English:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with one appropriate punctuation mark.
- Do not put a space before a question mark.
