Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.Real is a word used to describe something that is not fake or artificial. It refers to things that are genuine, authentic and true. For example, a real diamond is one that has been mined from the earth and not created in a laboratory.
In German, the word 'real' can also be used to describe something that is tangible or physical. This means it can be touched, seen or felt. For instance, a real object is one that exists in the physical world as opposed to being virtual or imaginary.
The term 'real' can also be used in a philosophical sense to refer to things that exist independently of human perception or consciousness. In this context, it is often contrasted with subjective or imaginary concepts. For example, the existence of gravity is considered real because it affects physical objects whether we perceive it or not.
