Discussion[edit]

The first two definitions of male and female are discussed at Wiktionary:Tea_room/2018/February#female. - -sche (discuss) 23:34, 2 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Comparative, superlative[edit]

"Maler" and "malest" seem to be more common than "femaler" and "femalest", although the comparative and superlative forms "more female (than...)" and "(the) most female (of...)" seem to be about as common as "more male" and "most male" (compare Citations:male to Citations:female). "Femaler" is probably downright nonstandard, although "femalest" seems at least somewhat less so to me. - -sche (discuss) 18:48, 9 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
