女婿 is a male Sign in to follow this Followers 4 Entry posted by jbradfor · July 4, 2012 4,702 views Just a warning, in case all of the "女" confuses you into thinking that a "女婿" is female. I assumed it was, and boy did I get the wrong impression of that relationship! "姪女婿" is male too. Just saying. 6 Report Entry Sign in to follow this Followers 4
Report reply skylee 1,911 Posted July 5, 2012 You make it sound like the words have something wrong with their chromosomes -- two, or even three, X (aka 女) chormosomes and it is still a male! 2 Share this comment Link to comment
Report reply jbradfor 681 Posted July 6, 2012 More along the lines of I associate words with a "女" as related to females or to (stereotypical) female traits. 女孩子 and 孫女 come to mind, of course, and to me "女婿" felt similar to those. 3 Share this comment Link to comment
