not honest; likely to lie or cheat

Not honest; ready to lie, cheat, or hide the truth to get what you want.

استعمال کا انداز: to be dishonest with [someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"He is a dishonest"* without a noun. In English, you must say *"He is dishonest"* or *"He is a dishonest person"*. Another mistake is using *dishonest* when someone is only wrong, not lying; if there is no intention to lie or cheat, *mistaken* or *wrong* is better than *dishonest*.
