Azubine f (genitive Azubine, plural Azubinen)
- (colloquial, humorous) Short for Auszubildende (female apprentice, trainee)

Usage notes
- Much more informal than the form Azubi m or f. Also possibly (though not usually) offensive because of the phonetic association with Biene (“sexually attractive woman”).
