Definition
真正 (zhēnzhèng) is an adjective/adverb meaning 'genuine, real, really' — it emphasizes the true nature of something, often contrasting with what is fake or superficial. It is stronger and more emphatic than 真 (zhēn 'really, truly'), which is more casual and can also mean 'true' as an adjective. Unlike 确实 (quèshí 'indeed'), which confirms a fact, 真正 stresses authenticity.
