Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

If your dog is a girl, you can use feminine pronouns and adjectives

#

by using the word une chienne

#

which is the feminine version of dog

#

So you can say "ma chienne est belle" = "my (female) dog is beautiful"

ohhhhh i didnt even know that existed, tyty

#

Or if you call her by her name, or use the "elle" pronoun, it's fine as well

#

if it is known within the context that she is female

simple cloud
#

is the feminine version of chat = chatte?

lavish gate
#

yes

simple cloud
#

tyty

lavish gate
#

but it is also commonly used as a sexual word so be careful

simple cloud
#

is it like "bitch" or "pussy" in english?

People will often refer to their animals in the masculine to avoid the ambiguity but will switch to elle/their name afterwards (kind of like how we might say "this is my dog, her name is Peanut" and not "this is my bitch, her name is Peanut")

#

If you're unsure of the gender you'll stick to the gender of the noun (most animals default to masc, but there are some animals that only exist in the feminine such as tortue and souris)

#

so its okay to even refer to a female dog/cat as "mon chein" or "mon chat"?

#

if i were to describe my dog but say "mon chien" even if she is a girl, do i use feminine adjectives? or masculine adjectives?

"mon chien s'apelle sofie, elle est bruyante" <- would that be correct?
