Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 'falsas' end in '-as'?

'Falsas' is the feminine plural form of the word 'falso'. The '-a' ending marks it as feminine (describing a feminine thing), and the final '-s' marks it as plural (describing more than one thing).

When should I use 'falsas' instead of 'mentiras'?

'Mentiras' specifically means 'lies' (deliberate untruths). 'Falsas' (as a noun) is a more general term for 'falsehoods' or 'untruths,' and is often used when describing ideas, news, or evidence rather than just personal lies.
