How do you pronounce it?

shottikhar

The word সত্যিই is derived from সত্য, meaning 'truth'. In Bengali culture, the concept of 'truth' is deeply tied to the spiritual idea of 'Satyamev Jayate', meaning 'truth alone triumphs'.
If you want to express 'really' to mean 'very' (e.g., 'really good'), you would often use খুব (khub) instead of সত্যিই.
In West Bengal and Bangladesh, the word for 'truth' সত্য is a cognate of the Sanskrit word 'Satya', which is also found in the name of the famous non-violent leader Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of 'Satyagraha'.
