Masculine virile
Masculine virile is an issue relating to verbs and/or nouns in some languages, such as Polish, which refer to male humans but not male animals. They are therefore not to be confused with mere animacy.
Polish language examples
In Polish, for the word Murzyn that can be translated into English as "Black man", the standard nominative plural is Murzyni, which is using the "personal masculine" suffix, while the impersonal suffix is pejorative, because it puts Black men in the same category as animals.In Polish one would say to a group of animals, girls or adult women "Co zrobiłyście?", but "Co zrobiliście?" to a group of boys or men.
