      Hi, Flavio Bessa -> All!       I read your message from 24.01.2017 14:21       about The Last Jedi.                      FB> Considering that recently Lucasfilm announced the title for its        FB> newest installment of the Star Wars saga, "The Last Jedi", a couple of        FB> questions came to my mind.               FB> Here in Brazil everybody is commenting about how hard it will        FB> be to translate this title to Portuguese without giving spoilers,        FB> because the English language allows it to be very open.               FB> I mean, "The Last Jedi", doesn't give us a clue if it's on        FB> singular or plural, and if the "last jedi" is a he or a she. :) Of        FB> course, we know that Luke Skywalker is the "Last Jedi", but you know. :)               FB> My question here for this forum is: Is the word "knight"        FB> gender-free?               FB> Knight could be used for eiher a male or female subject?              Knight IMHO is a male noun, and Webster told me the same. As a variant you can       translate it: "He Was the Last Jedi" ;-)              Bye, Flavio!       Alexander Koryagin       ENGLISH_TUTOR 2017              --- Paul's Win98SE VirtualBox        * Origin: Quinn's Post - Maryborough, Queensland, OZ (3:640/384)    |
