The Chinese word that is your eyebrows going up

Where the picture shows up in 真

1. 1

   it bursts out on the tongue

   这个菜真好吃！

   zhè ge cài zhēn hǎo chī

   This dish is really good!

   Eyebrows lifting on the first mouthful, the head nodding on its own

2. 2

   it bursts out at an unexpected hour

   你今天来得真早。

   nǐ jīn tiān lái de zhēn zǎo

   You came really early today.

   Opening the door to find someone already seated, then glancing down at your watch

   After a verb it follows 得: the coming itself was early.

3. 3

   the apology bursts out

   真不好意思，我迟到了。

   zhēn bù hǎo yì si, wǒ chí dào le

   I am really sorry, I am late.

   Head bowing over the threshold, both hands clasped together

4. 4

   it bursts out at a price

   这个手机真贵，我买不起。

   zhè ge shǒu jī zhēn guì, wǒ mǎi bu qǐ

   This phone is really expensive, I cannot afford it.

   Reading a price tag and quietly setting the item back down on the shelf

5. 5

   the thanks bursts out

   真麻烦你了，谢谢。

   zhēn má fan nǐ le, xiè xie

   I have really put you to trouble, thank you.

   Taking the helper's hand in both of yours and bending slightly at the waist

   With 麻烦你了 it becomes the standard thanks after being helped.
