vraiment

really

adverb vreh-MON Common

Usage Note

Vraiment is built straight from vrai (true) plus the adverb ending '-ment', so it literally signals 'in a true way'. It works as a sincere intensifier, but with a flat tone the skeptical ah, vraiment ? doubts whatever was just said.

Examples

"C'est vraiment bon."

Natural Translation

It's really good.

Literal Translation

It-is truly good
