French is often about living the moment, not describing it.
Truth in French Communication
In French, truth is often expressed with very short phrases
It is true
It is false

Not just “oh really,” but surprise, doubt, or curiosity
You are checking truth, not just asking a question
Stronger than “yes,” meaning “of course / obviously”
