They can be synonyms, and I think they are pretty much that in this context. ----- true (2) : not merely apparent : ACTUAL , TRUE <discovered the real reason> ------

Hi,

Normally, true and real are different. Could you tell me the subtle difference in this case?

a true life. = a real life ? (1)

a true friend. = a real friend. ? (2)

All things that are "true" are also always "real". However, all things that are "real" are not always "true". Some things that are "real" are also "untrue" or "false". A very real spouce can be untrue.
