"A WHITE LIE"
If you tell a white lie, you say something that isn't true in order to be polite or so as not to hurt someone's feelings.
Example: I really didn't want to go to my boss's dinner party, so I told a white lie and said I had to go to a friend's wedding party that night.
Una mentura piadosa.
Example sentences:
- Sometimes it's better to tell a white lie than to tell someone a painful truth / Aveces es mejor decir una mentira piadosa que decirle a alguien una verdad dolorosa.
- Jack asked me how he looked after his operation, so I told a white lie and said he looked great / Jack me preguntó como se veía despúes de su operación, entonces le dije una mentira piadosa que se veía estupendo.
Additional examples:
- I don't see the harm in telling the occasional white lie if it spares someone's feelings.
- Every little white lie you tell is still a lie and it is still meant to mislead people.
