Mon animal de compagnie.
How to I refer to an animal whose biological sex is male, yet the noun is feminine? For example, a male swallow (la hirondelle)? Assume the biological sex is important, for instance if I am making field notes for a science paper or a birdwatching log.
Bonjour Emilie, we will just add “mâle” in front of the animal. Le mâle hirondelle. Merci
