It's not physically impossible for someone to lie in their community, it's just that no one really does it, or they don't tell anyone they do it. He lies because he was chosen to be a Receiver in the Twelve ceremony, if he gets caught lying, he won't get any consequences, as for someone who isn't, they will.

Jonas can lie in "The Giver" because the community he lives in lacks the concept of lying. The absence of lying means that Jonas can deceive others without facing consequences since people in his community perceive the truth in a literal and limited way. This allows Jonas to protect himself and others by withholding information or providing false information when needed.
