No so fast. Try finding liar in our dictionary. It gives the Spanish verb liar; but not liar as in mentiroso. - qfreed Sep 3
But the question was not "I cannot find xxxx in a dictionary" but that they "can't find a dictionary" - YeOleImposte Sep 9

Hi colmandn

What you are describing is a mentiroso (or mentirosa if the person is female) i.e. a liar. grin

Very odd. If I simply double-click on "liar", I get "mentiroso" as a translation but if I follow the link to the dictionary entry I only see the verb "liar".
