Thread: Крошка/Мужчина

There are a few words with "-а" ending that can be used either as female or male nouns. There is even a special term for them. "Крошка" is one of that nouns. Nevertheless, male adjectives with these nouns do sound weird. "Мой крошка" or "крошка пришел/спросил" sound good. "Сладкий крошка"... I don't know.

"Врач" is a male noun. Although phrases like "хорошая врач посоветовала" are common in an informal language, you should avoid them in a formal text.

So to collate all the above haha. Even though it sounds weird and in all likelyhood would never be used. It is legally possible to use male adjectives with female words such as крошка which can describe both sexes?

I mean if Мой крошка is valid then surely сладкий крошка must be.
