  well enough to translate this phrase?
  
  N'embrasser pas la vérité
  
  Is it a meaning phrase in French or is the vocab wrong?
  
  Is there a better or more correct way in putting it?

  I understand what you are writing. But im not so sure on the vocabulary/grammer part.
  
  And it should be Je Suis Singapourien. not Singaporien.

  N'embrasser pas la vérité
  
  N' is the short form of non, i think.
  
  pas means not. la verite is the truth.
  
  so, no embrace not the truth.
  
  therefore, don't embrace lies.

  "Ne" and "pas" are used together as the negation leh... (Don't ask me why. That's the rule.) So "N'embrasser pas la vérité" should be "Do not embrace the truth"...
  
  And hor.... the grammar looks a bit weird leh. "Embrasser" is the infinitive form (l'infinitif). In this case, the imperative form (l'impératif) should be used... So it should be "N'embrasse pas la vérité" (informal) or "N'embrassez pas la vérité" (formal).

  Your sentence very weird leh... "I can no French"???
  
  Are you trying to say "Ich kenne kein Französisch"?
  Or "Ich kann kein Französisch sprechen"?
