Do people say a ''living'' fact in English? Like in Mandarin we say it's a living fact when for example a person was infected by a disease, so we say that that person is a ''living'' fact of the disease. Do you get what I mean?...@@''

A living example or living proof would work, but not a living fact.

Living fact is more of a dialect in English than part of every English speaking people. Most people take "fact" as provable, or tangible, in it's term.

other words in English, but not spoken by all English speakers is

Reckon (example: I reckon I should be going home about now)
Term used the same as 'realize'

A "fact" is exactly that-- a piece of information which is unimpeachable. "The sun rises every morning" is a fact. You cannot deny it. Some people make the mistake of saying something is a "true fact." Well, it wouldn't be a fact if it weren't true, so there is no need to say it's "true" if you also say it's a fact. There is no need to say it's a fact if it's also true. Get it?

In english, if the person has the disease himself, we say the person is infected. If he doesn't have the disease himself, but can pass it on to others, we say he is a carrier.
