?Which word?
Keep apart effeminate (of a man, behaving like a woman) and feminine (having qualities thought typical of women, a neutral or positive word).
Effeminate (पुरुष के लिए, स्त्री जैसा व्यवहार) और feminine (स्त्रियों के माने जाने वाले गुण, तटस्थ या सकारात्मक शब्द) को अलग रखिए।
Keep the gender words together: feminine/masculine, effeminate, virile (strong and manly).
लिंग के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: feminine/masculine, effeminate, virile (मज़बूत और पौरुषपूर्ण)।
§Grammar and usage
Note: effeminate is often used in an unkind way; avoid using it to mock people.
ध्यान रखिए: effeminate प्रायः अपमानजनक ढंग से प्रयुक्त होता है; लोगों का मज़ाक उड़ाने के लिए इसका प्रयोग न करें।
