Talk:травести

Can you review this? Ping again in case you didn't get the first one because it's multi-paragraph. Benwing2 (talk) 21:52, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) The distinction between the feminine and neuter variants isn't completely clear to me; the former is described as a роль and the latter as an амплуа, and both terms are translated more or less as "role". In Ivanova, the former is illustrated with the example Тала́нтливая травести́ and the latter with the example Актри́са травести́, and I think Ivanova says the latter is an adjective rather than a noun.
 * 2) Can this refer to roles with men dressed as women as well? In English, the term "travesti" encompasses both types (see ).
 * 3) Can this refer to a tranvestite (cross-dresser), as in many other languages? Benwing2 (talk) 21:52, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I got very confused with this entry. Dictionaries give much less info. Your assumptions make sense. A man or a transvestite can be a travesty. If I had to create this entry myself I would base it on "травести, неизм. и нескл., с. (амплуа), ж. (актриса)", ie. n-in (role, job, type of poetry), m-an (actress), perhaps add m-an for men. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:43, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
