Are male babies תינוקים?

July 12, 2016

No, תינוק is one of those words that are male but their plural form is with ות.

Thanks. With so many gendered forms, I figured it was better to ask.

The most natural way to say this in English is 'They give the babies milk' but this was marked incorrect.

I was marked incorrect too...

September 13, 2018

me too. Sounds weird saying it with the word 'to'

In my dictionary תינוק is also the word for infant. Is this incorrect?

Infant and baby are pretty synonymous

Is there a way to say girl babies without the extra words? As in female dogs are כלבות and female cats are חתולות and female babies are ---?

Both תִּנוֹק and תִּנ֫וֹקֶת have the same plural. תִּנוֹקִים for boy babies is obsolete.
