The Chinese word 真实 (zhēnshí) means "real" or "true". It is composed of two characters: 真 (zhēn), which means "true" or "genuine", and 实 (shí), which means "real" or "substantial". The character 真 is composed of two parts: the radical 言 (yán), which means "speech" or "language", and the phonetic component 眞 (zhēn), which is a variant of the character 真. The character 实 is composed of two parts: the radical 土 (tǔ), which means "earth" or "soil", and the phonetic component 失 (shī), which is a variant of the character 失. The combination of these two characters creates the word 真实, which means "real" or "true".
