femeníno

Femeníno is not a standard term in major linguistic references. In discussions of grammatical gender, the feminine form of a noun or adjective is usually described with terms such as feminine, feminino, femininine, or forma femenina, rather than with the specific label “femeníno.” When encountered, the word is typically a misspelling or a language-specific variant rather than a canonical category in itself.

Conceptually, the feminine form is part of the broader system of grammatical gender found in many languages. In such languages, nouns have gender, and adjectives and articles must agree with the noun in number and gender. For example in Spanish, a masculine noun and its modifying adjective take masculine forms (el libro negro), while a feminine noun uses feminine forms (la casa negra). The general idea is concord between words rather than a single fixed word.

Across languages, the precise terminology differs. Spanish uses terms like femenino/femenina, Italian uses femminile (and occasionally femminino in certain contexts), and Portuguese uses feminino/feminina. What these terms have in common is their reference to the feminine grammatical form, not a separate lexical item defined as “femeníno.”

In practice, when you see “femeníno,” treat it as a potential misspelling or as a nonstandard variant. If precision is required, consult a reliable grammar or dictionary for the language in question to determine the correct term for the feminine form and the rules of agreement.
