(i.e. "You're exaggerating") KGT
(NOTE: {voq} is probably closer to the English idiom "believe in". Although
it's close, to believe in someone/something is not quite the same thing as to
believe someone/something. YMMV.)
Antonyms include {voqHa'} "distrust"; cf. also {pIH} "be suspicious" (vs. {nub}
"be suspect").
