Even better: sincero, meaning "someone who doesn't lie"

Honrado means "with honesty and integrity"

Honesto was traditionally used to mean "decent, honorable and chaste"

If the context clearly established "él" as the subject, then you do not need "él".

éll no mentiro es honesto

If you want to say, "He doesn't lie, he is honest", you should say this:

(Él) no miente, es honesto.


You could also say, "(Él) no es un mentiroso, es honesto". This means, "He is not a liar, he is honest."

You need to conjugate mentir first wink

No miente. Es honesto.
