Dear Mariana

Could you tell us the exact context of the word? I'm not from Spain but I'm sure our colleagues will need the entire context in order to give you an answer.

Well, as this is the Spanish for Spain forum, I understood "liar" is the word in Spanish, a synonym of "atar", for example.

This word is a nice example of so many words which are written in exactly the same way in different languages.

This word is included both in English and Spanish dictionaries with different meanings, of course.

I completely misunderstood the original question but now I understand that the inquiry was for the meaning of "liar", a Spanish word.
Liar in Spanish could mean to get into trouble or to get involved with something.

Otras situaciones:
Liar un cigarrito o un porrito
Liar también puede ser enredar

Un saludo
