The German noun "Lüge" translates to "lie" in English. It refers to a false statement or an intentionally deceptive act of conveying false information with the intention to deceive or mislead others.
In German culture, honesty and truthfulness are highly valued, and lying is generally considered unethical and morally wrong. Lying can damage trust and relationships, and it is often seen as a betrayal of someone's trust.
