A1 Expression خنثی

Tiesa

Truth

معنی

Stating that something is correct.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Lithuanians value 'tiesa' over social 'white lies'. Being direct is seen as a sign of respect and honesty. In many Lithuanian folk tales, the hero must speak the 'tiesa' to overcome a mythological creature or a curse. The word 'Tiesa' is frequently used as a single-word comment on Facebook or Instagram to show agreement with a quote or a meme. During the Soviet occupation, 'tiesa' was a loaded word, as the official newspaper was called 'Tiesa' (the Lithuanian version of 'Pravda'), leading to much dark humor about the lack of truth in it.
