väljamõeldiste

Väljamõeldiste is the Estonian word for "fictions" or "fabrications." It refers to creations of the imagination, things that are not real or true. This can encompass a wide range of concepts, from fictional stories and characters in literature and film to imaginary scenarios, delusions, or even outright lies.

In the context of creative arts, väljamõeldiste are the building blocks of novels, plays, movies, and other forms of storytelling. Authors and creators use their imagination to construct worlds, invent characters, and weave narratives that entertain, provoke thought, or explore human experience. These fictional constructs, while not factual, can often reflect or comment on reality in profound ways.

Beyond artistic expression, the term väljamõeldiste can also describe unfounded beliefs or statements. When something is referred to as a väljamõeldis in this sense, it implies that it lacks evidence and is likely untrue. This usage can be critical, suggesting a deliberate or unintentional departure from reality. The distinction between imaginative fiction and a fabrication often lies in intent and context.
