뜻
Contradicting a statement.
문화적 배경
The concept of 'Pravda' is so central that the main Communist Party newspaper was named 'Pravda'. For decades, Russians joked that 'there is no truth in the Truth'. In many Slavic cultures, being direct about a lie is seen as a sign of 'soulfulness' (dusha). It shows you care enough about the person to be honest. Dostoevsky often explored the struggle between 'Pravda' (human truth) and 'Istina' (divine truth). Characters often shout 'Это неправда!' during emotional climaxes. On Russian social media (VK, Telegram), 'Это неправда' is often used as a hashtag or a quick comment to debunk 'fakes' or rumors.
Use for emphasis
You can add 'Это абсолютная неправда' to sound very convinced.
Watch your tone
Saying this too loudly can sound like you are calling the other person a liar, which is a strong insult in Russia.

The 'Soft' Alternative
If you want to be polite, use 'Это не совсем так' (That's not quite so) instead.
Directness
Don't be offended if a Russian says this to you; they are usually just correcting a fact, not attacking you.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Not necessarily. It depends on your tone. It's a neutral factual correction.
'Неправда' is an untruth (can be a mistake). 'Ложь' is a deliberate lie.
Yes, as an exclamation of disbelief or quick correction.
Use the past tense: 'Это была неправда'.
Yes, but 'Это не совсем так' or 'Данная информация неверна' is more professional.
When it forms a new concept (untruth), it's written as one word. If you are specifically contrasting (Not truth, but...), it's two.
Yes, 'Враньё' or 'Гон'. Use these only with close friends!
Mostly, but it can also mean 'justice' or be used as a filler word like 'right?'.
No, that's grammatically incorrect. Say 'Ты говоришь неправду'.
Simply 'Это правда' (That's true).
