How it's used
Focuses on the act of locking in a decision or agreement to prevent future ambiguity. It implies a sense of finality, often used when someone wants to avoid last minute changes or uncertainty. It is common in business or planning contexts where coordination is essential.
Examples
Have we confirmed what time we are meeting yet?
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 講真, which means to speak the truth or to be serious. While 講實 is about finalizing an agreement, 講真 is about sincerity or honesty.
