Self evident means obviously true in itself, without need for justification. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..." The instinct for survival is self-evident, but instincts can be overridden by logic or emotion.
I have always seen this as self evident. In other words it does not need spelling out or it is obvious.
yes (the answer's self-evident if you're taking the exam)
The phrase "we hold these truths to be self-evident" means that the truths mentioned, which come after that famous phrase, do not need to be explained, defended, or rationalized. "Self-evident" means that the thing provides its own justification just because it exists.
you cannot answer this question, because it makes no sense at all. "what did Thomas Jefferson" is alright- but "was self evident"..... what was self evident?
Pronunciation:self-ev-i-duhnt Self-evi-dent Self-Evident-Evident in itself, without proof or demonstration.
It does not need to have a hyphen! :)
No, "inner self" does not have a hyphen. It is typically written as two separate words. Hyphenation is generally used when combining words that create a single adjective before a noun, but in this case, "inner" modifies "self" without requiring a hyphen.
There is no need to show it to others, if you are intelligent it will be self evident, there will be no need of further demonstration
A particular truth is not self-evident means it is not obvious.
The correct spelling is "self-confidence," with a hyphen.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident..." comes from the US Declaration of Independence.
