ORIGIN OF NAIF
The word naif comes from the French homophone naïf which means naive. Starting from this meaning, being a naive person is the same as being a naive person, also, it can be used to indicate someone who has an appearance of naivety.
Naif is a word fully accepted by the authorities of the Spanish language. It can be used with or without accentuation, that is, the words naive and naive are interchangeable in use and semantics. Its use among Spanish speakers is more common in countries such as Argentina and Uruguay.
