ficcionais

Ficcionais is a Portuguese adjective meaning “fictional” or “relating to fiction.” It describes elements that do not correspond to real events or persons and that exist within a narrative created by imagination. The term is common in discussions of literature, film, television, theater, and other narrative arts, and it appears in phrases such as obra ficcional, personagem ficcional, universo ficcional, and gênero ficcional (for example, romance, ficção científica).

The singular form is ficcional and the plural form is ficcionais, which applies to masculine or mixed-gender nouns. The feminine plural is also ficcionais. In many contexts ficcionais functions as an attributive adjective; the noun form is usually obras ficcionais or histórias ficcionais rather than a standalone noun.

Ficcionais contrasts with não ficcionais, or não ficção, which describe real events, facts, or explanations. In academic and journalistic contexts, the distinction helps label content as fictional, hypothetical, or speculative.

In summary, ficcionais designates elements of fiction and is used to classify and analyze fictional narratives and artifacts in Portuguese-language media.
