fisiche

Fisiche is the feminine plural form of the Italian adjective fisico, used to describe things related to physics or to the physical sciences. It does not denote a standalone scientific discipline; the corresponding noun for the science is fisica. In everyday and academic Italian, fisiche appears in phrases that refer to properties, laws, or phenomena of the physical world.

The term derives from Latin physica, from Greek physis, meaning nature. Over centuries, it has come to designate the branch of knowledge concerned with matter, energy, space, and their interactions. As an adjective, it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies, for example: proprietà fisiche (physical properties), leggi fisiche (physical laws), or condizioni fisiche (physical conditions). When referring to processes, one more often uses the masculine form fisici, as in processi fisici (physical processes).

In educational contexts, fisiche is common in compound terms within the broader field of the physical sciences. Institutions may group physics, astronomy, geophysics, and related areas under headings such as scienze fisiche or studi di fisica, depending on the curriculum. The term can also appear in scientific writing to distinguish physical aspects from chemical, biological, or social dimensions.
