谢谢你! So I’m just curious… if 妈 is mother what are the 汉子 for female horse and how do you pronounce it in pinyin?? Would it be 女马？

你好 ! firstly, i believe you meant  文字 (wén zì). With that in mind, the term for a female horse in english is “mare”. The  文字  for mare is 母马 and the pinyin is mǔ mǎ. It would be pronounced like MuH-MaH.

If you’re looking for a literal translation of “female” “horse”,  女马 would be correct ( 女 meaning “female” and 马 meaning “horse”).
