@kaelyjrath Thanks! Can I change “true” to “real”? Does it also sound natural?
- English (US)
using real does not sound natural, it changes the meaning
- Simplified Chinese (China)
@kaelyjrath Can you tell me how “real” changes the meaning? Because I think it means the same as “true”.
- English (US)
truth has to do with fact or false, where as real is seeing whether something exists or not. it's a fine line and depends on the subject you are talking about
- Simplified Chinese (China)
@kaelyjrath Alright, but sometimes they are interchangeable, right? For example, “true love” and “real love”, “true friends” and “real friends”.
- English (US)
yes they can be interchangeable. especially if you are talking about relationships
