QUÉ SIGNIFICA BOY EN INGLÉS

Chico

Boy

Un niño es un varón joven, generalmente niño o adolescente. Cuando se convierte en un adulto se le describe como un hombre. La cosa más aparente que diferencia a un muchacho de una muchacha es que un muchacho tiene típicamente un pene mientras que las muchachas tienen una vagina. Sin embargo, algunos niños intersex con genitales ambiguos, y genéticamente los niños transgénero femeninos, también pueden ser clasificados o auto-identificarse como un niño. El término "niño" se utiliza principalmente para indicar distinciones biológicas del sexo, distinciones culturales del papel del género o ambos. Esto último se aplica más comúnmente a los hombres adultos, considerados de alguna manera inmaduros o inferiores, en una posición asociada con aspectos de la infancia, o incluso sin esa connotación juvenil como sinónimo de edad indiscriminada. El término se puede unir con una variedad de otras palabras para formar estas etiquetas relacionadas con el género como palabras compuestas.

A boy is a young male human, usually child or adolescent. When he becomes an adult he's described as a man. The most apparent thing that differentiates a boy from a girl is that a boy typically has a penis while girls have a vagina. However, some intersex children with ambiguous genitals, and genetically female transgender children, may also be classified or self-identify as a boy. The term "boy" is primarily used to indicate biological sex distinctions, cultural gender role distinctions or both. The latter most commonly applies to adult men, either considered in some way immature or inferior, in a position associated with aspects of boyhood, or even without such boyish connotation as age-indiscriminate synonym. The term can be joined with a variety of other words to form these gender-related labels as compound words.
