"talaga" can function either an adjective (real) or an adverb (really).
"mahirap TALAGA na kumita ng pera sa panahon ngayon."
translation: "i'ts REALLY hard to earn money these days." (adverb)
"magsasaka TALAGA siya."
translation: "he's a REAL farmer." (adjective)
In some instance "talaga" could also function as a verb (it's is pronounced quite different from the above though) that means "to assign".
"kailangan ng mag-TALAGA ka ng mga kawal sa pangunahing lagusan."
translation: "you need to ASSIGN guards in the main gate."
we'll we could have helped you a lot if you can show us a sentence where this word was used.
good luck!

well, it really means "really" but you also have to know the usage in the sentence. :)
see for example, if you are like bragging about something then someone would say talaga lang ha, i think that talaga in there means "really?" but if you're stating a fact then that "talaga" means "It's true". :)
