Talk:humana

Portuguese

@Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV I labeled the noun as rare based on a comment asking to remove the sense entirely and searches for [form of ser] + uma humana. Do you agree with the label? Ultimateria (talk) 08:07, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, not really. The noun humana is not less common than what you would expect compared to how common its masculine equivalent is. Maybe the commenter was thinking of ser humano. — Ungoliant ^(falai) 13:05, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

humana

Spanish. I can find una humana in google searches, but a quick check of other dictionaries shows humano as a masculine only noun. We've included this since the entry was first created 2007. Is it valid? If so, should humano mention a feminine form? — This unsigned comment was added by JeffDoozan (talk • contribs) at 13:07, 4 November 2021 (UTC).

I would say it's valid. In particular, it should be common in fantasy/mythological settings where a (female) human is mentioned by non-human entity. Though I do agree it might be hard to fetch some examples, I got these: 1, 2, 3, 4. - Sarilho1 (talk) 15:09, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

• Added cites. "humana" is mentioned by a dog and a couple of aliens, but there's no Wiktionary rule that the narrators of the work have to be human... we could have a debate about whether or not to allow machine-generated quotations, but that's not for me to start.
