B1 Expression ニュートラル

¡De verdad!

Really! Seriously!

意味

Expresses emphasis, surprise, or asks for confirmation of truth.

🌍

文化的背景

In Spain, 'de verdad' is often used with a very emphatic 'que' at the beginning: '¡Que de verdad te lo digo!'. This 'que' adds a layer of insistence. While 'de verdad' is common, 'la neta' is the cultural powerhouse for truth-checking among younger generations. Argentines often use 'posta' in the same way. If you say '¡Posta!' instead of '¡De verdad!', you will immediately sound more like a local. In many regions, 'de veras' is a very common alternative that sounds slightly softer or more affectionate than 'de verdad'.

🎯
