@Lingo Bingo Dingo In the translations of vagina, this is marked as "never used". Should it be marked as obsolete?__Gamren (talk) 14:32, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Gamren It is true that you hardly ever hear in it everyday language, at least in the Netherlands, but it is still used in written language. I've labelled it formal here. @Morgengave The WNT (writing in 1921) claims that this is a coarse word for the vagina in Belgium. Does that still apply?
←₰-→Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 14:37, 20 December 2020 (UTC)- @Lingo Bingo Dingo, Gamren. In my view, it's mainly used in formal language (classroom, scientific...). It is not obsolete nor archaic, but perhaps it is dated. Most people would in any case understand it. I can also imagine it being used humorously or coarsely. I do think "foef" and "preut" would be the much more common coarse words in Belgium. Morgengave (talk) 15:09, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
- Those descriptions sound similar to skede.__Gamren (talk) 16:01, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
