你可以说一个人 虚伪 虚伪意思是这个人不真诚,表里不一,说一套做一套 也可以说虚情假意,表面对你很好,其实内心不是很喜欢你,或者假装关心你,你可以说他虚情假意

If you say that(你很虚假or你这个虚假的人), most chinese can understand you, but chinese say "你很虚伪,你这个虚伪的家伙". that's to say, 虚伪 is better than 虚假 here. You can say "A deceitful(虚假) peace is more hurtful than an open war." His love was a mere sham. 他的爱情是虚假的。 TV viewers have been writing in to complain of the false advertisement. 电视观众不断来信抱怨虚假广告. 虚伪 is used to describe someone. 例句来自词霸。实例来自http://www.italki.com/answers/question/158277.htm

The answers of above are right, generally we use 虚假 describe something, and use 虚伪 describe somebody. We can't understand 你太虚假了! If you can understand some chinese, the following are extends:(I'm sorry my English is poor) 1. 虚假是一种书面的表达方式, 就算你说某种东西虚假的时候, 也会让人难以理解. 比如: 这张人民币是虚假的, 而你可以说: 这张人民币是假的. 有时把虚假放在你要describe的东西前面效果会好一些, 比如: 发布虚假广告是违法的! 2. 虚假其实是由 虚 和 假 组成的(虚假 contains two words: 虚 and 假), 有些时候我们的侧重点在"虚"上, 用来表示不存在的(not exists), 有些时候我们的侧重点在"假"上, 用来表示不是真的(not true)

〝虛假〞一般用來形容死物。如果要形容人,一般我們會使用〝虛偽〞。但奇怪的是,如果我們把〝虛假〞加以變化變成〝虛情假意〞,這樣便能用作形容人之用。 例如: 那個偷渡客因使用虛假的證明文件而被定罪。 他這個人太虛偽了,我不想跟這樣的人做朋友。 他的虛情假意,往往卻有很多人受落他的那一套。

The first one is OK, but the second one, we don't use this saying, we will say ,你这个虚假的人, coz,虚假 is a adj. not a noun.
