But SHE won't tell you if you don't understand Láadan...
Does the subject really need to be a female? Or just some feminine word?
(La rata) está enamorada de usted...
(La voz en el radio) está enamorada de usted...
(La testimonia de defensa) está enamorada...
Or does this happen only in Portuguese?

I am perseverant
You are tenacious
He is a mule.
