Conversation = "confabulatio" or also "colloquium" is basically the talk between 2 persons while "sermo", also correct, has more the meaning of the speech, the address to more people.
Liar = mendax (either as adj. or noun - masc. and fem.); it's also "periurus" but mostly with the meaning of as in English perjurer.
Lies (plur.) = mendacia (neuter noun- plur.)
