?Which word?

fictitious or fictional?

Fictional means belonging to a work of fiction, with no suggestion of deceit: 'a fictional detective'. Fictitious means invented in order to deceive, or simply not real: 'a fictitious address'. Both come from fiction.

Fictional का अर्थ 'कथा-साहित्य से संबंधित' है, जिसमें धोखे का भाव नहीं है, जैसे 'a fictional detective'। Fictitious का अर्थ 'धोखा देने के लिए गढ़ा गया', या केवल 'असली नहीं' है, जैसे 'a fictitious address'। दोनों fiction से बने हैं।
