How Do You Spell TELLS WHITE LIE?

Pronunciation: [tˈɛlz wˈa͡ɪt lˈa͡ɪ] (IPA)

The phrase "tells white lie" is spelled as /tɛls waɪt laɪ/. In phonetic transcription, the sound /t/ is made at the beginning of the word, followed by the diphthong /ɛɪ/ which represents the sound of "ay" in "day". /w/ is then pronounced, followed by the vowel sound /aɪ/ which represents the "i" sound in "white". Finally, /t/ is pronounced again, followed by the diphthong /aɪ/ once again for the sound of "lie". Together, these sounds form the phrase "tells white lie".

TELLS WHITE LIE Meaning and Definition

1. To "tell a white lie" is an idiomatic expression used to describe the act of knowingly uttering a false statement or relaying inaccurate information in order to avoid hurting someone's feelings or to maintain harmony in a social situation. This type of lie is commonly referred to as a "white lie" because it is seen as harmless or innocent in nature, lacking malicious intent.

   The term "white lie" is derived from the color white symbolizing purity and innocence. It suggests that despite being an untruth, the intention behind the lie is not meant to deceive or cause harm but rather to protect the emotional well-being of others or maintain social cohesion.

   Telling a white lie often involves choosing words or altering the truth in a way that softens the impact of the information being conveyed. These lies typically revolve around situations where honesty might lead to discomfort, awkwardness, or unnecessary conflict. Examples of white lies may include praising someone's appearance even if you don't genuinely find it appealing, expressing enthusiasm for a gift you don't particularly like, or feigning interest in a conversation.

   However, it is important to note that repeatedly relying on white lies can damage trust and intimacy in relationships, as dishonesty erodes trust over time. The ethical line between when telling a white lie is appropriate and when it becomes deceitful depends on the situation and individual beliefs about honesty and transparency.
