isn't -> aren't [?]

Yes, it should be "aren't".

This sentence also sounds unnatural. I can't read Hungarian, so unfortunately I can't offer a reasonable alternative.

Of course, thanks.

In Hungarian, it can be a threat, or it can happen because of a mysterious thing.

I am not sure what to suggest. The current sentence sounds like the one being spoken to has been inflicted with a magical curse and will suddenly die if their words are lies.

Is that an intended meaning?

maaster maaster May 21, 2018 May 21, 2018 at 11:13:58 AM UTC link Permalink

One of the meanings, it is exactly.

(In the second one, concerning the hungarian sentence : you'll die... => We'll kill you...

I think your sentence is okay then. I've linked an alternative that feels a bit more "natural" to me.
