Yes but it doesn't generalize very well. Even on simple features like gender. If you go look at embeddings you'll find that man and woman are neighbors, just as king and queen are[0]. This is a better explanation for the result as you're just taking very small steps in the latent space.
Here, play around[1]
mother - parent + man = woman
father - parent + woman = man
father - parent + man = woman
mother - parent + woman = man
woman - human + man = girl
Or some that should be trivial
woman - man + man = girl
man - man + man = woman
woman - woman + woman = man
Working in very high dimensions is funky stuff. Embedding high dimensions into low dimensions results in even funkier stuff
