التعريف
To say something that is not true to someone on purpose, often to deceive them.
الاستخدام والفروق الدقيقة
Always used with the person being deceived: 'lie to someone'. Not just 'lie', which can mean to be in a horizontal position or to tell a falsehood generally. Slightly formal; 'lying' often used in informal speech. Common collocations: 'lie to your parents', 'lie to the police'. Mistake: Don't say 'lie someone', it needs 'to'.
