Frazes

Frazes is not a term with a fixed definition in standard English. In most contexts, it is likely a misspelling or phonetic variant of the plural noun phrases. The spelling may arise from keyboard errors, transcription mistakes, or attempts to reproduce non-English spellings. In Romance languages such as Spanish and Portuguese, the correct word for 'phrases' is frases, so frazes may appear as an anglicized misrendering in multilingual texts. Because of these variations, frazes is typically treated as a potential error rather than a distinct linguistic category.

As a proper noun, frazes may be used in fictional works or branding, but such usage is uncommon and lacks a standard meaning. When frazes is used as a name, its interpretation is determined by the author or organization that uses it.

Given the lack of a stable definition, editors and readers should rely on context to determine intended meaning. If frazes appears in academic or editorial material, it is usually appropriate to correct it to phrases unless the writer explicitly defines frazes as a technical term or a proper noun.
