inventadas

Inventadas is the feminine plural form of the past participle of the Spanish verb inventar, used as an adjective to describe things that have been created or fabricated rather than based on verifiable facts. It can modify nouns such as historias, afirmaciones, ideas, objetos, or citas, indicating that these elements are not factual or real. The term can carry a neutral meaning (simply noting fabrication) or a critical tone, depending on context.

In usage, inventadas is common in everyday language for statements that are not true, as in historias inventadas, rumores inventados, or excusas inventadas. In journalism, the phrase noticias inventadas or afirmaciones inventadas is used to flag misinformation or deceptive claims. In literature and film, inventadas may describe fictional elements within a work, for example personajes inventados or mundos inventados.

Origin and form: The word comes from the verb inventar, with feminine plural agreement. The concept is tied to the broader idea of fabrication or fabrication of evidence, and the form is used across genres to denote things that are not real.

Cultural and linguistic notes: The idea of inventadas overlaps with discussions of misinformation, hoaxes, or fabrication of quotes and evidence. In some contexts, inventadas can function as a noun in colloquial speech, referring to inventions or fabricated stories rather than physical objects.
