Hiding the truth is when you don't reveal the truth. It does not necessarily mean that you're lying, just that you're not telling the whole story. Typically, it is called a white lie. Outright lying is falsifying information. When you lie, you say something false even though you are fully aware that it isn't true. It is much worse than a white lie, though those aren't great either.

Lying involves deliberately providing false information, while hiding the truth involves withholding information that is relevant to a situation. Lying is an active form of deception, whereas hiding the truth is a passive omission of information. Both can lead to a lack of trust in relationships.

If a chicken says that all chickens always lie is he telling the truth?

No, he is lying. If he were saying the truth, then, in theory, as he is a chicken, he would be lying. Then, he cannot tell the truth. So, he is lying. But, if he is lying, then all chickens say the truth, and he cannot be lying. The key lies in the word "all". He is lying that ALL chickens always lie, therefore not necessarily all chickens say the truth. It could be that some chickens always lie. The truth does not have to be the opposite. Therefore, he is lying that chickens always lie, and the truth is that "some chickens always lie".


Do you tell the truth?

There is no way to be certain just by asking. Someone who is lying would lie about telling the truth.The "Liar's Paradox" is that no one can rationally answer a question about the truth by saying "I am lying." This is clearly because if you are telling the truth, you say "I am telling the truth" and if you are actually lying (about lying), you would again say "I am telling the truth" (a lie).If you said you were lying, you would have to be telling the truth, but you're not because you are lying. This is similar to the double-negative paradigm ("He's not right...he's just not wrong").
