Definition
真挚 (zhēn zhì) describes deep, heartfelt sincerity, especially in emotions, friendship, or relationships — it is more literary and intense than the everyday 真诚 (zhēn chéng). Unlike 诚恳 (chéng kěn), which focuses on an honest, cordial attitude in speech or manner, 真挚 emphasizes genuine, profound feelings. It is less formal than 诚挚 (chéng zhì) but carries a similar emotional weight.
