الاستخدام والفروق الدقيقة

"Shady" is both literal (about shade or shadows) and informal for people or things that seem untrustworthy. In the suspicious sense, it's casual—don't use in formal writing. Common: 'shady business', 'shady character'. Don't confuse with 'shadowy' (means dimly lit, less about trust).
