Hi I'm Japanese, I'd like know the difference between "evidence" and "proof" [closed]
Cambridge Dictionary defines evidence as "one or more reasons for believing something is or is not true." On the other hand, it defines proof as "a fact or piece of information that shows that something exists or is true."
The word proof is, therefore, more definite and sufficient than evidence when it comes to uncovering the truth. However, people might use it in casual communication more often purely out of practicality. It's fairly easy to pronounce "proof."
