Nuance Dictionary / Trust & Security

의지하다 ui-ji-ha-da

To rely on or lean on someone for support

This is trust with weight on it — you're not just confident in someone, you're actually leaning your problems on them. Kids '의지하다' their parents; in a new city with no friends yet, you might only have your phone to '의지하다'.
