真

• 拼音: zhēn
• 汉字拆解: 真 = 十 (ten) + 目 (eye) + lower component — seeing clearly, hence 'true/real'

含义

Really; truly; real. Expresses emphasis or authenticity.

As an adverb, 真 intensifies adjectives and verbs, meaning 'really/truly.' As an adjective, it means 'real/genuine' as opposed to fake. Very common in exclamations (真好！真的吗？). Often interchangeable with 很 for emphasis, but 真 carries stronger surprise or sincerity.

例句

1. 今天天气真好！
2. 这个菜真好吃。
3. 你说的是真的吗？
