Talk:Hete

RFV discussion: October 2020–March 2021
For the masculine noun, introduced by (@Mahagaja).

Dictionaries (DWDS, Duden) too only know a feminine, and the plural form Heten even when refering to males could be a form of that too.

PS: now has examples refering to male humans. --B-Fahrer (talk) 08:49, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Dang, you're right. Even when referring to men, seems to always be feminine. —Mahāgaja · talk 10:05, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I've never heard it used as masculine. Duden also notes that it's mostly applied to men (in the singular). In the plural it means heterosexual people in general, regardless of gender. – Jberkel 15:50, 3 October 2020 (UTC)


 * I have infrequently seen this used as a masculine, and there are examples on (non-durable) Twitter if you search for "ein Hete", "einen Hete", etc. I have not spotted it anywhere durable; I checked Issuu for any uses in gay magazines/papers to no avail. The usual form, as stated above, is even when the referent is a man. RFV-failed, although it may well become citeable one day. - -sche (discuss) 02:30, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
