Hi,

I am not a teacher, but I think they're opposite.

Doubt: Negative meaning
Suspect : Positive meaning.

If I am wrong, please fix me. Very Happy

Hi,

-to think (something )to be false or doubtful
-to believe (something )to be the case
- a person who is believed guilty of a specified offence
- adj. not to be trusted or relied upon

doubt ;
-uncertainty about the truth ,facts,or existence of something
-an unresolved difficulty or point
- give someone the benefit of the doubt accept that
someone is speaking the truth
-no doubt almost certainly
-to be inclined to disbelieve
-to distrust or be suspicious of

doubt - opposite meaning - sure or certain

suspect - opposite meaning - believe ,trust

I am not a teacher ( thank godness ) but by coincidence I have bought some time ago a dictionary.

I don't know for sure - just wild guess.
I bet in Vietnamese these two words are really opposite.
