Explanation and Etymology - (真に) makotoni
真に (shin ni) is a Japanese expression that can be translated as "truly", "really" or "sincerely". The word 真 (shin) means "truth" or "reality", while the character に (ni) is a particle that indicates the way something is done or the state in which something is. The etymological origin of the word 真 (shin) goes back to ancient Chinese, where it was written as "zhēn" and meant "true" or "sincere". The character 真 is composed of the stems 目 (me, eye) and 示 (shi, show), suggesting the idea of "showing the truth with the eyes". The particle に (ni) originates from ancient Japanese and is derived from the character 之 (no), which was used to indicate possession or connection. Over time, the 之 character evolved into に, which came to have a more grammatical function, indicating the role a word plays in a sentence. Taken together, 真に (shin ni) is an expression that emphasizes the sincerity or truthfulness of something, and can be used in a variety of situations, such as expressing a personal opinion, emotion, or commitment.How to Write in Japanese - (真に) makotoni
