 |

Hello,
Is the use of "wise" appropriate here?
"Because of the traffice jam, it was a wise decision to travel by boat instead of by car."
Does this decision qualify for the label "wise"?
Thank you,
Nawee |

Quite all right. In fact, a wise choice of words.

| Yes, wise can mean prudent or sensible, both of which fit the sentence you've given. |
