What is "feminine"?
Feminine is a grammatical category that refers to nouns, pronouns, and adjectives associated with female characteristics or qualities. In languages that mark gender, feminine forms are often used to denote female people or animals. For example, in Spanish, the word "médica," meaning "female doctor," is feminine, and it is used with feminine adjectives, such as "inteligente," meaning "intelligent," to form "médica inteligente," meaning "intelligent female doctor." In English, feminine is primarily reflected in pronouns, such as "she" and "her." Understanding the feminine gender is essential for maintaining grammatical agreement and clarity in communication, especially in languages with specific gender rules.
