Lie

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

A lie is something that someone says that is not true. Usually when someone lies, they want people to believe that what they are saying is true, even though it is not. People can have many reasons for lying, such as if they are hiding something, if they want something from you, or white lies. Some people are pathological liars.

Sometimes a person will say something that is not true, but they do not know it is not true. This person either learned the wrong information somewhere, or is delusional.
