What do you think about words such as woman, mother, sister, daughter, etc...?

What is this question about?

Ploppsy32:What do you all think about words such as, virino, patrino, fratino, filino, etc...?
I think they are female.

The suffix "-in-" means "female", the word "ino" itself means "female (one)".
So, if we literally translate e. g. "vidv/in/o", it will be something like "female widower" (="widow").

I don't know I was just hoping you all would start some big debate

Though honestly, I'm not a big fan of the word "fratino" because if a person were to directly translate it it would be "female brother".

And I don't think of my sister as a female brother

wo-man (< wifman) is a female man in English, too.

The whole concept of sisters being nothing but female brothers doesn't even make sense because a brother is a male sibling so saying my female male sibling cancels the genders out.

If I'm not erring, the word "man" originally used to mean "human being"...
