Important: Please use standard style
- Use wikitables.
- Write foreign words in italics. and write the English translation in quotes. If gender is necessary, put it in brackets next to the word. Abbreviate.
- e.g. (Spanish) perro (m.) "dog"
- Use bold letters to highlight suffixes
- e.g. (French) Une femme blonde "A blonde woman"
- Avoid redundant examples: if a given section already has a good example in one language, don't add another for the sake of putting something in your language.
"Gendered" is not an attributive verb -- it's no different from e. g., "I subwayed to the store".
Nobody has ever "gendered" a language. They named things and ascribed qualities to them. You can't just add -ed to render "gender" an attributive verb. I suggest replacing all instances of "gendered" with phrases that express the same meaning, e. g., "a language with grammatical gender" instead of "gendered language". 185.205.225.132 (talk) 12:39, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
- It is a word in the dictionary and this usage is explicitly supported.[1] We can use it. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:54, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
