•Person ：authentic: more about Person / be true to who u are （eg. Taylor Swift, PINK!） genuine : more about Action rather than personality (eg. ~ help) •Things : authentic : original (eg. meal, museum,a piece of art/a little deeper than genuine) genuine : for things like fashion jewelry (eg. ~ gold or ~ memory ) 两者mostly the same eg. wow, can u believe this is the authentic painting ？(things) I can’t believe this exhibit is really here. Do u think that tall guy does being serious when he is sitting by my bag. He seems genuine (being real ) to me. He couldn’t believe that were genuine crystals(things )on it. So nice. I have to be authentic( people )I love my fashion. Not big difference,don’t worry about mixing so much. Real also can be used.
