Hello Atemp, I cannot be sure of my answer but I can make a parallel with some other status we use in French. Actually, it seems that the Academie Française used to consider that wome works would be impossible to do for women, so that we do no need a feminine gender for them. For example, nobody uses the feminine version of "docteur". And when I was a child, we said "le maire" even if it was a woman. Now we say "Madame la maire". Anyway, I would say "mon colonel", like we say "Bonjour Docteur".... I hope my answer helped you a little bit. Have a good day!

Hello Larb! Actually, in French we consider that the person is missing for us. When I say "I miss my boyfriend" in French we will say "My boyfriend is missing for me", "my boyfriend is a missing part" so we say: "Tu me manques" ( = Tu manques à moi, c'est toi qui es manquant pour moi) But when we say "I love you" the subject is "I", because the person that is in love is me so "Je t'aime" I hope that my answers are clear, do not hesitate to ask me if you have a question about it. Have a good day!
