Analysis

真実 means “truth”.

は is a topic particle so you can tell Conan is talking about 真実.

いつも means “always”.

Now let’s go through some of the adverbs of frequency. So when you say how often you drink coffee, you would say コーヒーを:

  • いつも飲む – you always drink coffee
  • たいてい飲む – you usually drink coffee
  • よく飲む – you often drink coffee
  • ときどき飲む – you sometimes drink coffee
  • あまり飲まない – you hardly drink coffee
  • ぜんぜん飲まない – you never drink coffee

Lastly, ひとつ means “one”. It’s one of the most common Japanese counters which are used for counting objects that don’t have their own specific counter. In Japanese restaurants, it’s common to use these counters when ordering food and drinks so let’s count from one to ten:

  • one – ひとつ
  • two – ふたつ
  • three – みっつ
  • four – よっつ
  • five – いつつ
  • six – むっつ
  • seven – ななつ
  • eight – やっつ
  • nine – ここのつ
  • ten – とお

After eleven, we usually add 個(こ) after the number. So eleven is じゅういっこ、twelve is じゅうにこ.
