Mules Meaning in English
word · lemma: mule
释义
Plural of mule: (1) a hybrid animal that is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse, used as a working animal, (2) a type of women's shoe that is backless and often has a closed toe.
用法与细微差别
Used both for animals and for a type of shoe, depending on context. For shoes, always plural ('a pair of mules'). For animals, less common in everyday life but standard in rural or historical contexts. Do not confuse 'mules' (shoes) with 'mule' (animal) when reading fashion or travel content.
