    Example Word

    実: truth. The Japanese noun '実 (じつ)' primarily means 'truth' or 'reality'. It refers to something that is genuine, factual, or real, as opposed to something imagined or false. This word is often used in contexts where the authenticity or actual state of something is being emphasized. For example: He told the truth「彼は実を言った」(かれはじつをいった). The reality is different from what we expected「実は私たちが予想したのとは違う」(じつはわたしたちがよそうしたのとはちがう). Additionally, '実' can sometimes refer to 'fruit' in a botanical context, but this is a separate and less common meaning.
