#### Noun

女人
* woman; adult female (Classifier: 個／个)
       yīge mòshēng nǚrén de láixìn [Pinyin]
       a letter from an unknown woman
       Wǒ bù xiǎng hé zhè zhǒng bùyàoliǎn de nǚrén jiǎnghuà. [Pinyin]
       I don't wish to speak to such a shameless woman.
* (colloquial) lover; mistress (Classifier: 個／个)

##### Usage notes

* When referring to an adult female in a neutral sense, 婦女／妇女 (fùnǚ) and 女的 (nǚde) are often preferred, as 女人 (nǚrén) can carry potentially offensive connotations of a female of low social standing or worth (similar to woman and lady in English).
