Korean[edit]

Etymology[edit]

진(眞) (jin, truth) +‎ (-jja) of unclear origin, perhaps nativisation of 자(字) (ja, character, Sino-Korean).

Presumably replaced Middle Korean 진딧 (cintis), from the same Chinese etymon and with the same meaning.[1]

Pronunciation[edit]

Romanizations
Revised Romanization?jinjja
Revised Romanization (translit.)?jin'jja
McCune–Reischauer?chintcha
Yale Romanization?cin.cca

South Gyeongsang (Busan) pitch accent: 짜의 / 짜에 / 짜까지

Syllables in red take high pitch. This word always takes high pitch only on the first syllable, and lowers the pitch of subsequent suffixes.

Adverb[edit]

진짜 (jinjja)

See Also
BTS

  1. really; actually

Synonyms[edit]

Noun[edit]

진짜 (jinjja)

  1. That which is real or actual.

Usage notes[edit]

Like many Korean nouns, this word is often used as a determiner to modify another noun directly, as for example in 진짜 목적 (jinjja mokjeok, real purpose).

Synonyms[edit]

  • 정말 (jeongmal, “the true”)
