It is very creditable when a woman gets into politics. She does this at the expense of responsibilities toward her home and family and should be lauded for this.

Indian Politician

Use 'creditable' when the outcome is good, showing respect for the effort or result.

Positive Outcome

'Creditable' often implies success was not guaranteed but efforts led to positive recognition.

Unexpected Success

While 'creditable' is complimentary, it may imply that the accomplishment isn't the top achievement.

Not the Best

Use 'creditable' to suggest that something is of acceptable or reasonable quality.

Sufficient Quality

'Creditable' implies the possibility of better results, although current ones are sufficient.

Room for Improvement

Use 'creditable' to manage expectations; it conveys adequacy without overstating success.

Avoid Overhype

Use 'creditable' when expressing confidence in the reliability of a person or information.

Trustworthiness

Believable Source

'Creditable' does not always mean something is true, just that it appears trustworthy.
