Squirrel is a male or female substantive? In portuguese is male (o esquilo), in spanish is female (la ardilla)

Because, in English, the male and female articles are identical (the man and the woman, a man and a woman).

In English, there is no differentiation based on perceived gender. It's just a squirrel - no gender implied.Squirrel is a male or female substantive? In portuguese is male (o esquilo), in spanish is female (la ardilla)
she
It just depends on the language. In Finland, we don't have any articles at all. Squirrel is orava no matter how defined it is.
It depends on the sex of the squirrel in question. If it is male then it is masculine, but if it is female then it is feminine. Mostly though you wouldn't get close enough to a squirrel to inspect his or her genitalia and determine the sex so it remains neutral.
In Czech, it is female.





the squirrel=ta veverka





the man= ten mu啪


the woman= ta 啪ena


the child= to d铆t臎





We have three. Male, female, and ';middle';.
