How do I say "Actually" In the context of "You don't ACTUALLY have to do that"


Would like to know which correct word to use in that context & how would I say
the aforementioned sentence in Japanese! My best guess would be to use 本当 ?




本当に is not bad. You could say:

> 本当にする必要 **は** ない。

> 本当にしなくて（も）いい。

それを would sound redundant and should be removed. If する alone doesn’t make it
clear what the other person doesn’t have to do, then you should use a more
specific verb.

> 本当に口を開ける必要はない。

> 本当に口を開けなくて（も）いい。

If you need to eliminate the risk of 本当に being understood as “really,” you can
replace it with 実際に. It sounds slightly more formal, though.
