Gender on app?

Question

Why does the dictionary app not say the gender of the nouns when you look them up? I have other dictionaries on my iPod and they have (f) or (m) next to the nouns which is very useful.

The dictionary app is really great and it's so much easier to use the app rather than have to return to a real dictionary everytime I'm unsure about a gender. This is all it needs to complete it in my opinion.

Answer 1

We have to use a different dictionary for our mobile applications than what we have on the website. But we will have gender available on the dictionary in a future release.

Great, thank you. :) - fi123, Jun 21, 2011

Answer 2

But I'm referring to the Spanish dict app from iTunes that doesn't require Internet, not the dictionary on this site. - fi123

Hmmm, well, I don't know about that, I will report the issue.

Muchas gracias :) - fi123, Jun 21, 2011

Answer 3

delete-apparently the problem does not exist so no need to theorize about causes.

Wow how polite, thanks! - fi123, Jun 21, 2011

^I agree with you there, some people on this site are so rude, i'm nearly afraid to ask questions! She had a genuine question/comment, by assuming it's invalid you're the one "theorizing about causes". - perri6, Jun 22, 2011

Hi, the dictionary

Velazquez® Spanish and English Dictionary. Copyright © 2007 by Velazquez® Press. All rights reserved.

which you can see on our dictionary page, does mention the gender.

Look at silla for example:

silla [seel’-lyah]

noun

1. Chair, movable seat (asiento). (f)
