How Exactly Do You Define Truth? - Philosophy Stack Exchange
Well, the truth itself is the way things are, and like you're saying, there isn't so much we can do to further define that. It just is. But there's a second consideration, which is that humans make claims about the way things are. These claims may be considered as sequences of characters, or noises, or perhaps patterns of mental activity. And we call some of these claims true, and other claims ...
logic - What is the difference between Fact and Truth? - Philosophy ...
Truth is what the singer gives to the listener when she’s brave enough to open up and sing from her heart. But still curious about the difference between both of them.

Can truth exist without language? - Philosophy Stack Exchange
5 "Whether truth can exist without language" and "that truth is an objective reality that exists independently of us" are not opposed claims, although they don't imply one another.

Do you believe something to be the truth or do you know the truth?
1 You say: In this example does this second person know that the first person's belief is not the truth or do they believe that it is not the truth? Rational agents can disagree on judgement and justification, without a doubt, and philosophy has a spectrum of epistemological meta-theories about how to deal with this disagreement.
What is the philosophical difference between "Reality" and "Truth"?
Truth is a property of propositions, mostly propositions claiming facts. Hence truth lives in a completely different domain. "It rains today" is a proposition which claims a fact. The proposition can be true or false. On the other hand, facts are not true or false. Instead, they are or they are not. See also What is the difference between Fact ...
Does truth exist without proof? - Philosophy Stack Exchange
Truth-value realism is the view that every well-formed mathematical statement has a unique and objective truth-value that is independent of whether it can be known by us and whether it follows logically from our current mathematical theories.
