About
The word 谎话 (huǎnghuà), meaning "lie" or "falsehood", is formed through a direct and logical combination of its two component characters: 谎 (huǎng), which carries the core meaning of "false" or "deceptive", and 话 (huà), which means "speech" or "words". The formation is purely conceptual, where the first character defines the nature or quality, and the second character specifies the object or medium. Thus, it literally and intuitively constructs the idea of "false speech" or "deceptive words", where the whole meaning emerges seamlessly from the sum of its transparent parts.
