How it's used

Using 講假 is a direct and slightly accusatory way to call someone out for being dishonest. It carries a stronger sense of confrontation than simply saying someone is not telling the truth. It is often used in casual arguments or when questioning the credibility of a story.

Examples

nei5你m4唔hou2好tung4同ngo5我gong2講gaa2假aa4呀。

Don't you dare lie to me.

keoi5佢seng4成jat6日gong2講gaa2假，mou5冇geoi3句zan1真waa2話。

He lies all the time, not a word he says is true.

Common phrases

gong2講gaa2假waa6話

to tell a lie

Common mistake

Avoid using 講假 to mean fake or counterfeit objects, as it specifically refers to the act of speaking untruths. For physical items that are not genuine, use 假貨 instead.
