<p>We say this when we don't think about something true in our daily life and suddenly, somebody around us mentioned it and we are like:" yeah! it is actually true! I never thought about it before!"
Literally means: "It is actually true". </p>

Cantonese don't usually say 噉至真; "這才是真的原因" in Cantonese is "原來係噉"

'还真是' here is similar to "It is actually true" in English (agree/affirm to A's statement)

In Cantonese, we would say "噉又係喎"

噉(this) | 又(also) | 係(true) | 喎(final particle: indicate 'agree/affirm')

Mandarin:

> A: 他自从遇到车祸以后就不开车了。
>
> B: 还真是，我以为他不喜欢开车呢。

Cantonese:

> A: 佢自从遇到车祸之后就冇再楂車嘞。
>
> B: 噉又係喎，我仲以为佢唔鐘意楂車㖭。
