'reticent statements'
The Use of Comparative Law in Teaching
American Civil Procedure, see pg 8

" Id. The following is another example of an execution of a Decree of Proof, this
time in an Italian court:
The first witness adduced by the defendant is introduced and warned by the
examining judge of the religious and moral importance of the oath and the penal
consequences of false or **reticent statements**; then the examining judge invites
him to take the oath and reads the formula: "Conscious of the responsibility which
by the oath you assume before God and men, swear to tell the truth, nothing but
the truth." The witness standing, says the words: "I so swear." Interrogated
on his identification, he answers: "I am Mirto Mirti, born in Siena on August 15,
1941, residing at 327 Piazza del Limbo, Florence, and a clerk in the store of
Rosso Rossi."

ITALIANO - RILUTTANTE E RETICENTE
in Italiano 'Riluttante' NON è sinonimo di 'reticente'.
'Riluttante' si riferisce al FARE. (unwilling)
'Reticente' si riferisce al DIRE

RILUTTANTE è chi fa le cose controvoglia, o chi non le fa per niente.
RETICENTE è chi parla controvoglia, o chi non parla per niente.

Esempi corretti:
Chiesi a mia figlia di portarmi dell'acqua, lei me la portò, ma come al solito lo fece in modo riluttante, scontroso

Chiesi al direttore del personale se intendesse assumere dei laureati e lui mi rispose in modo vago, si sentiva che era reticente.
