Fact; truth; reality. Something that has actually happened or is objectively true.

A noun and adverb describing objective facts or reality. As an adverb, 事実 can begin a sentence to mean 'in fact' or 'actually'. More objective than 真実 (shinjitsu, truth) — 事実 focuses on verifiable facts rather than deeper philosophical truth. Common in news, debates, and legal contexts.
