genuinas

Genuinas is the feminine plural form of the adjective genuino in Spanish and Portuguese, used to describe feminine nouns that are authentic, real, or original. The term is commonly employed to signal legitimacy or veracity of objects, statements, or works.

In Portuguese, genuína (singular) or genuínas (plural) modifies feminine nouns, as in peças genuínas or provas genuínas. In Spanish, the corresponding forms are genuina (singular) and genuinas (plural), as in obras genuinas or pruebas genuinas. The masculine forms are genuino and genuinos. The word is widely used in everyday language as well as in commerce, the arts, and legal or evidentiary contexts.

Etymologically, genuino derives from Latin genuinus, a root that conveys authenticity and origin. In both languages, genuinas carries the sense of being produced or sourced in a rightful way rather than counterfeited or artificial. The term can also appear in phrases emphasizing origin or credibility, and it is often paired with synonyms such as auténticas, verdaderas, or legítimas, depending on nuance and register.

Genuinas can also function as a proper noun in some contexts, though it is not a widely established brand or entity on its own. In such cases, capitalization and meaning would depend on the specific usage.
