"Benarkah?"

Translation: Really?

[Lisa-Lisa-Lisa]

if benar means correct and kah means it is wouldn't this translate to is it correct?

[osti7d]

kah is indicating a question "Right?" so you you could also say "Is that right?"

Benarkah = Betulkah?

[JJMuskitta]

banar is true
betul is good

[FadhilaMukarrama]

Really? = sungguh?
Or in informal way we normally say "beneran?" It's the same as "benarkah?"

Serious? = serius? Seriusan?

[Pedro819456]

Why is "Truly?" not accepted?

[lim832694]

it's more synonymous to "very" rather than "right/true" in this context.
