mentido
Mentido is the past participle of the verb mentir in Spanish and Portuguese, meaning that someone has lied or deceived. It is primarily used in compound tenses to indicate a completed action of lying. In Spanish, you would say, for example, ha mentido (he/she has lied) or había mentido (he/she had lied). In Portuguese, common forms include tem mentido (has lied) and tinha mentido (had lied). As an adjective, mentido can describe something that has been lied about or a person who lied, though more everyday terms such as mentiroso (liar) or mentira (lie) are often preferred in ordinary speech.
