Does there exist a word which describes someone who is male but behaves like a female? In Chinese, we say that "他很(He is so) 娘". Such guys may have the following features(include but not limited to):

1. finger
   




2. emotional
   




3. lovely pink

Any words in English describing the above men with those awkward features?

The English adjective to describe a man or boy whom the speaker/writer regards as exhibiting stereotypically or inappropriately feminine characteristics is "effeminate."

Please note that this word should be used with caution, if at all, as these days it is often seen as offensive. Also, please note that what specific characteristics are seen as "effeminate" can vary widely across different times and cultures, and even from one individual to another. Wearing pink, being emotional, and gesturing with one's fingers are by no means universally coded as "feminine," and therefore will not always be seen as "effeminate" when done by a man.

Effeminate, an adjective that means "having feminine qualities untypical of a man; not manly in appearance or manner."

Nanigashi makes an excellent point about the cultural and temporal boundaries that limit the applicability of categorizing particular behaviors as feminine or masculine.

I am thinking of sissy (adj.), a pansy (n.), unmanly (adj, to describe one's behaviour). Keep in mind they all are derogatory.

In a modern and broad-minded society, having nails painted, or wearing a pink outlandish suit, or getting overly emotional doesn't necessarily describe a woman.

There is also androgynous: partly male and partly female in appearance; of indeterminate sex, which is not quite the same thing of course.

In addition to the terms in the other answers, more neutral terms are "female presenting" or "non gender binary".
