Also means
real, actual
Usage Note
Véritable is stronger than vrai — it adds emphasis, as in un véritable désastre ('a real disaster', 'a veritable disaster'). It has the same form in the masculine and feminine and takes a standard -s plural. It usually precedes the noun it modifies.
Examples
"C'est un véritable chef-d'oeuvre."
Natural Translation
It is a genuine masterpiece.
