Jai in sign language
True Heart
jing jai (adj.) จริงใจ

The person with a “true heart” is someone who possesses sincere intention and expresses his or her true feelings of love, care or consideration. If you possess a true heart, you are jing jai; you do not hide your emotional state behind a veil of deceit. You do not resort to using guile to obtain an advantage. You have no time or patience for masks or deception in your words or behavior. People always know where they stand with you. Great value is placed on plain, straight speaking and actions. The reward for meeting this high standard is to be known as someone who has a true heart. True to others, true to yourself.
