direktora
Direktora is a term primarily used in certain Slavic languages, including Russian and Ukrainian, to denote a director or manager. It is a feminine noun and is the direct feminine equivalent of the masculine noun "direktor." In practice, "direktora" refers to a woman holding a position of authority or leadership in an organization, such as a company, institution, or school. The role and responsibilities associated with a "direktora" are generally the same as those of a male director, encompassing oversight, decision-making, and strategic planning. The use of gender-specific nouns for professions is common in these languages, reflecting historical linguistic norms. While "direktora" is grammatically correct, in contemporary usage, there can sometimes be a preference for gender-neutral language or the masculine form even when referring to a woman, depending on regional and individual preferences. However, "direktora" remains a recognized and used term.
