pretending to follow beliefs or morals

When a person says they have good rules or beliefs but does not follow them in real life.

استعمال کا انداز: hypocrisy about [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "hypocrisy" (noun) with "hypocrite" (noun for a person) and "hypocritical" (adjective). For example, "He is a hypocrisy" is incorrect; it should be "He is a hypocrite" or "He is hypocritical". Another common mistake is mixing up "hypocrisy" with "hypothesis"; these words are unrelated in meaning.
