explícites

Explícites is a term that appears in several Romance language traditions to denote things that are explicit: clear, unambiguous, or graphic in detail. The exact spelling and gender agreements vary by language. In Spanish, the adjective is explícito (singular), explícitos (masculine plural) and explícitas (feminine plural). In Portuguese, similar forms exist (explícito, explícitos, explícita, explícitas). In French, the corresponding form is explicites. Across these languages, the core idea remains the same: something that is plainly stated or shown, leaving little to interpretation.

In media and publishing, explicites is commonly linked to labeling and classification. Explicit content refers to material that includes graphic sexual content, violence, strong profanity, or other sensitive material. Such labeling helps audiences make informed choices and guides age-restriction policies. Content warnings and age ratings are standard tools in this context, with terms like “explicit content” or “contenido explícito” used on platforms, films, books, and games.

Linguistically, explicites can function as an adjective describing a noun (content, statements, descriptions) or, in some contexts, appear as a plural noun referencing explicit elements within a larger work. The term’s precise meaning depends on jurisdiction and platform guidelines, as notions of what constitutes explicit material can vary culturally and legally.
