>The Russian language has three words for lying, two for truth. I looked into this, and found this blog post [1]. The comments are quite interesting, but the main post points out this isn't much different from English. In English we use synonyms for truth/true (e.g. authentic, factual, legitimate, etc) and lie (e.g. fabrication, falsehood, misrepresentation, disinformation) with different meanings too. Maybe we shouldn't use vocabulary of a language to draw/imply further conclusions about a culture. [1] https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=29814 https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=29814
