véritables

Véritables is a French adjective meaning "true," "real," or "genuine." It is derived from the Latin word "veritas," which means "truth." In French, véritables is used to describe something that is authentic, sincere, or not false. It can be applied to people, objects, situations, or concepts. For example, one might refer to a "véritable ami" (a true friend) or a "véritable trésor" (a real treasure).

The adjective véritables agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. Thus, it can appear as "véritable" (masculine singular), "véritables" (masculine plural), "véritable" (feminine singular), and "véritables" (feminine plural). The feminine singular form is identical to the masculine singular form.

In literature and everyday conversation, véritables serves to emphasize the authenticity or significance of something, distinguishing it from mere imitation or pretense. It carries a connotation of established fact or inherent quality. The term is a common element in the French language, contributing to its precision in expressing nuances of truth and reality. Its usage helps to convey a sense of genuineness and often implies a positive appraisal of the subject being described.
