What does srimati/shrimathi mean? Is this to address women? Andries 12:40, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Feminine of Sri, but traditionally used to address only married women. Unmarried women are usually called Kumari (variously also meaning daughter, girl, etc., akin to English miss).
[edit] subjunctive gender?
There's no such thing as a "feminine subjunctive gender" in Sanskrit. There's a feminine gender for nouns, and remnants of an ancient subjunctive mood for verbs..--Grammatical error 17:21, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] General Use of the epithet Sri
Sri is also used as an honorific, to indicate that the person being honored is prosperous. This ought to be in the article. nein? Alamandrax 14:48, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Definition of it?
Hi.
I saw this:
"When used as a title for gods, Śrī is sometimes translated into English as Lord, but this is inaccurate and it is generally agreed that Śrī is best left untranslated."
But can a _definition_ of it be given, or is it not the kind of thing that has one per se? mike4ty4 (talk) 06:52, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
