Curiosity

Regards, I wish you have a good time here. Checking the Greek wikilexikó, I couln't help but noticing the αρσενικό, θηλυκό and ουδέτερο in the table. Our entries here give them the adjective meaning for masc-fem-neut, but is there a reason why αρσενικό cannot mean "man" and only "arsenic"? Sobreira ►〓 (parlez) 14:05, 30 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for that excellent question, Sobreira! I've only been studying Greek for a few weeks now so I really don't think I'm the right person to answer this, but the way I understand it, the noun 'man' is usually translated as ο άνδρας or ο άντρας whereas αρσενικό is an adjective (it's in it's neuter singular nominative/vocative/accusative form here; the masculine singular nominative is αρσενικός) usually meaning "masculine" (in a grammatical sense for example). According to the WordReference entry it apears that it can be used as a noun, "male", but only used in the sense of, say, "a male (cat)". — Biocrite (talk) 20:50, 30 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
You can answer in my talk page, User talk:Sobreira. Don't forget that αρσενικό is also acc.masculine. That possibility of cases and genders are the same for θηλυκό and ουδέτερο, although with a different stress for the latter. Kali niktá. Sobreira ►〓 (parlez) 22:47, 30 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
