정말 vs 아주 vs 진짜
From my understanding, 정말 means "really/that's true?" and 아주 means "very/really". I just came across 진짜 too though. Can anyone  explain how this fits in? Thanks

Answer

"진짜"  can be translated as "really?/ That's true?" Or it just means "Real/ True"
Here are some examples to help you understand.
 "그는 진짜 멋지다."
= He is really cool.
" 진짜? 와, 그것 참 이상하다."
=Really? Wow, that's weird. 
"진짜웃음과 가짜웃음을 구별하는건 어렵다."
=To distinguish between the true [real] smile and the fake one is hard.

Answer

정말/진짜=really/that's true?
아주-very

for example:
you're so perry~
정말?/진짜?

she's my 아주 좋아한 스타.
