People themselves are not true or truth, it is what they are saying/believing that can be true. the adjective is 'truthful'. You are the truthful one. You are the truthful. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.

Hi Nona, Why can't the be used in the following sentence? You are the truthful. Jackson6612

	nona the brit  +  373996 Sat, 02 Jun 07 02:51 PM Truthful is an adjective. We don't use 'the' before adjectives. nona the brit

You don't say "You are the intelligent", but you say "You are intelligent". However, you could say "You are the intelligent one" (you need a noun, so you use "one" to have "the intelligent one").
