[DEE-she] n.

female / girl (all ages, species)

Dişi specifically means ‘female’ in the context of animals or as a biological descriptor for gender. It is not typically used to refer to human females in everyday conversation, as it might sound overly clinical or impolite; kadın is the preferred term for human females.
