Is feminine or masculine when translated from English to French?

"Feminine" and "masculine" in English are not directly translated into French as singular words. They are typically translated depending on the context and what they refer to:

1. Referring to genders:

* Feminine:

* féminine: (adjective) "She has a feminine touch in her art."

* femme: (noun) "This is a women's magazine."

* Masculine:

* masculine: (adjective) "He has a masculine build."

* homme: (noun) "This is a men's clothing store."

2. Referring to grammatical gender:

* Feminine: féminin (masculine noun) "The noun 'fleur' (flower) is feminine."

* Masculine: masculin (masculine noun) "The noun 'livre' (book) is masculine."

3. Referring to concepts:

* Feminine:

* féminité (noun) "She embodies femininity."

* féminin (adjective) "This is a feminine design."

* Masculine:

* masculinité (noun) "He struggles with his masculinity."

* masculin (adjective) "This is a masculine style."

Important: It's crucial to understand the context to choose the right translation.

Example:

* "The feminine form of the noun" would be translated as "la forme féminine du nom."

* "The masculine style of clothing" would be translated as "le style masculin de vêtements."
