You're doing god's work here seriously thank you for all of your comments.
It seems like only half of the discussions have audio. These words are difficult and it makes it even harder when you can’t hear it
They're impossible. There's no way to decipher how to pronounce them.

I have this question as select all the correct translations. All of the choices are the same except for the nikkud under the tav in "שותה". Why is the one with the segol wrong?
A cow generally can't be femenine (unless you give it some big fake lashes and lipstick ;D), but "cow" (the word) is feminine in Hebrew.
Actually, the point I was trying to make is that "female" is a noun, and "feminine" is an adjective. I believe the word נְקֵבָה is a noun, while the adjective would be נְקֵבִי. Which is why the word cow may be defined as female, but not feminine, except, perhaps, to a bull. Is that correct?
Female is also an adjective. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/female
In English, we talk about masculine and feminine genders, rather than male and female.
