Väljamõeldise

Väljamõeldise is an Estonian word that translates to "fiction" or "imagination" in English. It refers to the creation of something that is not real, often in the context of stories, art, or creative thinking. In literature, väljamõeldise encompasses novels, short stories, plays, and poems that are not based on factual events but are products of an author's mind. This category can range from fantasy and science fiction to historical fiction and even works that explore psychological or emotional realities through imagined characters and scenarios.

Beyond literature, the concept of väljamõeldise extends to other creative endeavors such as painting, music, and sculpture, where artists express ideas, emotions, or visions that may not have a direct counterpart in the physical world. It is a fundamental aspect of human creativity, allowing for the exploration of possibilities, the expression of abstract concepts, and the entertainment of audiences. The term can also be used more broadly to describe any fabricated account or untrue statement, akin to a lie or an invention. However, in its primary and most common usage, väljamõeldise emphasizes the imaginative and creative aspect of producing non-factual content.
