Obviously, your question is out of context. Nobody can give you an adequate answer, unless you specify what you are talking about.
But I will tell you something curious, since I gather that you may be interested in the question of truth.
Did you know that the words "truth" and "tree" both have the same root? I am not talking about the root of a tree, but the etymological root, the origin of a word.
And why do you think it is so? I don't have a definitive answer, but I guess that both the "truth" and a "tree" are hard "things", are durable and reliable "things".
If you look further, you'll see that all animals are able to lie (especially the human being) or to mask themselves or to camouflage, but a tree is always the same. It just changes according to the seasons, because it must change, but otherwise it is always true to itself. Trees never lie.
I know, I know, that was a stretch, but at least I hope you have learned something new with your unpretentious question.

The word "true" represents one of 2 states in Boolean Algebra.
The other state is false.

Nothing is true, for the world is but an illusion. Everything you see is a lie, told to you by your own subconscious.

It's true.

And which "it" are you talking about today?
Regardless, as it is a model of reality and not reality and the error of reification possible when you confuse the model with reality, I can safely say that "NO" it is not true!

Socrates was a man who constantly searched for truth. Many believe that "it" in fact is the truth.
So the answer, I guess, is YES, 'it' is true

Absolutely nothing is true when there is no evidence, this is why that even theories can be proven wrong!
