lagáti to lie (komu to someone); to tell lies; to belie; to speak untruths; pogovorno to tell fibs, to fib; evfemizem to be economical with the truth; (pretiravati) to talk tall, to exaggerate, to stretch (ali to colour) the truth, to draw the long bow

lagal sem mu I lied to him
debelo to lie in (ali through) one's back teeth
on mi laže v obraz he lies to my face
laže tako, da sam sebi verjame he lies like a book
laže, kot pes teče she's a bare-faced liar, he lies like a gas-meter, arhaično he can spin a twister
