A1 Expression ニュートラル

Non è vero

It's not true

意味

Denying a statement.

🌍

文化的背景

Italians are often more direct in disagreement than Americans or British people. Saying 'Non è vero' isn't usually considered rude; it's seen as being honest and engaged in the conversation. In the south, 'Non è vero' is often shortened to just 'Mica vero' or accompanied by a clicking sound of the tongue and a backward head toss (the 'no' gesture). Talk shows in Italy are famous for guests shouting 'Non è vero!' over each other. It's a staple of the 'politicante' (political) style of discourse. In a business setting, while direct, it's better to use 'Non mi risulta' (It doesn't result so to me) to sound more professional and less like you are calling the other person a liar.

💡

The 'Mica' trick

If you want to sound like a local, say 'Non è mica vero'. It makes you sound much more fluent and natural.

⚠️

Don't be too aggressive

In a formal debate, soften it with 'Secondo me' (In my opinion) or 'Forse si sbaglia' (Perhaps you are mistaken).

Intonation matters

Falling intonation makes it a factual correction. Rising intonation makes it an exclamation of surprise.
