ways to say "really" in Korean
Hello!
I know some ways how to say "really" in Korean, like:
정말 / 정말로
참 / 참으로
실제 / 실제로
진짜 / 진짜로
진실 / 진실로
Those are words I know, is there more?
Could you tell me the difference between those words?
Could you tell me the difference in use between words with and without "(으)로" ending? How should I use it?
Thank you !

1. I think there's more, but hard to add :) almost done!
2. Actually no difference. But if they're used as an exclamation of surprise at the same situation, natives don't use "진실 / 진실로", "참 / 참으로", "실제 / 실제로". Kind of an awkward expression although hard to explain in logical :)
3. Also there's no difference with/without "-(으)로". But usually, being "without" is preferred, for some reason.
