The word true is often used in various phrases, such as true love, true beauty, true story, and so on. So, what is the actual meaning of true? Because in a different sentence context, the word true often shows another meaning.

Summarized from various sources, here is an explanation of the meaning of true in Indonesian language along with its differences with correct and right.

1. Meaning of True in Indonesian

For example, sebenarnya, betul, sejati, asli, tulen, nyata, sesungguhnya, and so on. To be appropriate, the selection of the meaning of the word true will be adjusted to the context that includes the sentence or expression.

2. Differences in Meaning between True, Correct, and Right

If we look at the meaning of true, it means correct, true, truly, so at first glance the word true seems to be no different from correct or right. In general, these three words are considered synonymous. This is supported by the fact that in the dictionary, both the words true, correct, and right have relatively similar meanings. It is not uncommon for the words true, correct, and right to be used interchangeably. However, if we examine it more deeply, there are differences between the meanings of true, correct, and right. Quoted from englishforsma.com, here is an explanation of the differences in their meanings. 1) True The meaning of true specifically tends towards truth based on facts. Therefore, a statement can be considered true if the statement expresses a truth that actually happened. For example: - The statement is true (That statement is true [because it is based on existing facts]) 2) Correct Meanwhile, correct means truth that is more towards being free from errors. Therefore, it can be considered an absolute truth that cannot be disputed. For example: - The answer is correct (That answer is correct [for example, for a math question with a definite answer]) 3) Right On the other hand, the word right has a more subjective meaning of truth. So it is not absolute. A statement that is considered right usually still represents a subjective opinion.

For example:

- It was the right thing to go to help the children by giving them some money (Helping street children by giving them money is an act that is considered right [for some people, there may be different thoughts, so this statement has subjective truth value])
