多邻国世界语tips and notes 动物篇animals（中英对照）

禽兽... 啊呸，动物篇

the suffix -id (offspring)

后缀-id(表示幼崽/产物)

-id is a suffix that refers to the young of an animal, or more rarely, of a plant. 

 –id这个后缀表示年幼的动物或比较少见地说新生的植物

kato (cat猫) + -id = katido (kitten猫崽) 

hundo (dog狗) + -id = hundido (puppy狗崽)

duo

Duo is the name given by Duolingo to its mascot, the green owl. It is not the word for owl in Esperanto. The Esperanto word for owl is strigo. 

 Duo（多儿）是多邻国的吉祥物，一只绿（原谅）色的猫头鹰，duo这个词并不是世界语里的猫头鹰，猫头鹰在世界语里是strigo

the suffix -in (female) 
后缀–in（雌性）

When it comes to animals, the root form of the animal (i.e. bovo) is gender neutral. Therefore the word bovo does not specify whether the animal is a bull or a cow. 
 当出现动物时，动物名词的基本形式（例如bovo，牛）是个中性词。所以,bovo这个词并不是具体到牛是公的还是母的 

A bovino is specifically a cow. To make this unambiguously male, you need to add vir- in front of it, thus virbovo is a bull. 
Bovino这一单词很明显指的是母牛，要极其准确地表达是公牛，你需要在bovo前加vir,所以virbovo意思是公牛
