1.
brand new, completely new
Describes something that is conspicuously new and unused, with the freshness still clearly visible. Emphasizes the appearance of newness more than the fact of being new.
Usage
Unlike 新しい, which simply means "new," 真新しい emphasizes that something looks visibly fresh and untouched. It often describes physical objects like clothing, buildings, and equipment. The prefix 真～ intensifies the base adjective.
Writing
真 is an intensifying prefix meaning "truly" and 新しい means "new." Together they convey "truly/completely new."
