@vanjajaja1 without social context I would think of a statement as inaccurate or false (depending if there's range of possibilities or more of a binary statement) ... imo a "lie" needs a speaker and an audience, and the audience needs to be actually deceived abt the speaker's mental state / belief abt the world (otherwise it could be sarcasm or hyperbole or etc)- and it's also not a "lie" imo if the speaker is accurately representing their mental state but their mental state doesn't match observed reality- like, describing a hallucination "there's a guy standing right over there" - it isn't a "lie" imo, it's a misperception
@vanjajaja1 and then the communication itself is imperfect and I consider errors in communication different than "lies" as well... speaker's intent to speaker's words said to audiences' words heard to audiences' understanding intent & understanding depend on integrating the words w context
