Did you know?

  • The verb form eres is actually a linguistic relic of the future tense. Even though it is used today to mean 'you are', it originates from the Latin 'eris' which meant 'you will be'.
  • Because the word falso implies a fundamental lack of honor, using it can be perceived as a much more heavy and severe personal attack in Spanish than the English equivalent 'you're fake'.
  • The word falso is the same term used to describe both 'fake news' as noticias falsas and counterfeit currency as billetes falsos.

Examples in context

  • No puedo creerte más, eres un farsante.

  • No confío en ti, eres falso.
    I don't trust you, you are fake.
  • Sé que eres falso con tus amigos.
    I know you are fake with your friends.
  • Deja de mentir, eres falso.
    Stop lying, you are fake.
