Only reason why I like my native language (finnish) is that there's only one pronoun "hän" and as a non-binary person i think it's really great, because I don't get misgendered so often.

Hey I'm french and non-binary and in french language there are nothing like They/Them so we used a contraction on He/She in french it's Il/Elle so we used Iel because we are a gender language so there is a gender for everything so that really hard but my friends try to use the contract pronous and that great !

In german there are many attempts to make non binary pronounces like Xier or dey but there are so many that there is none that everybody knows. Great Video btw😍

For my fellow Dutch enbys: Zem/Zaar It’s not great but it’s ok

In Portuguese, we have a few possible non-standard systems: elx, el@, elu, ilu, el... He - ele | She - ela The (m) - o | The (f) - a A/an (m) - um | A/an (f) uma I really like "elu" and "el", but I understand "elu" the best. It's an elegant solution, but it still treats masculine as the default. Elu, ê, ume Ele, o, um Ela, a, uma E.g.: "They're a college professor. Their class loves them." "Elu é ume professore universitárie. A turma delu ê ama." Something like that. I'm still learning, so it's not perfect, I assume... On Academia (website) I've found a manual to neutral language in Portuguese and there are a few sites with very good explanations. It's still a bit awkward to use it, as Portuguese genders everything in multiple levels, but I learned the binary system first, so it's bound to be a bit harder for me. If I remember, I'll share some links here. Let's hope my brain does its job... ("^-^)

We have a really big problem in German: The singular female 3rd person is “sie” The plural 3rd form is “sie” The formal address is “Sie”

I was worried about this myself in learning Japanese thank you so much

This was a very interesting video! I remeber learning some pronouns in German class back in high school. Brings me back memories. Thanks for sharing this video!

Hey I'm from Brazil and obviously speak portuguese, in our language we use ele (he) and ela (she), so now we're trying to be more inclusive and using the sufix "E" or "U" for words, so like i personally and most of enby community uses Elu (neutral form of Ele/Ela) that kinda represent what you guys who speak English uses as they/them pronouns, that's it, great video love you

I'm italian and it's interesting that you also talk in a higher pitch in english (or a lower pitch in italian). it's pretty cool. Also, i'm currently questioning so this video is interesting for two reasons. Grazie mille! E buona fortuna con il canale!

I've recently started learning the tiniest bit of Finnish (for reasons unrelated to this, but still) and it's very cool, I recommend trying it! I think another thing that's interesting in this context is the sort of overlap between gender and noun class and how just because we call stuff gender based on an understanding drawn largely from Romance and other Indo-European languages doesn't necessarily mean that it's got anything to do with gender in the social sense (except with pronouns and that sort of thing). I'm really curious how non-binary pronouns (and their formation if there haven't traditionally been any) might look in languages with more than two genders/noun classes.

Back when I was in Spanish class, I asked my teacher if there were gender neutral pronouns bc I’m non binary, but he said “there r only two genders” and that rlly pissed me off, so now I’m here :)

For Spanish I’ve always used an e instead of a or o, so niño/a would be niñe, muchacho/a would be muchache, abuelo/a abuele, etc. As for pronouns, perhaps ell or elle could work? I’m not a native so Spanish isn’t my first language, but that’s just my take. :)

Thank you for this! I've been waiting for this video for so long!!!!!!!

I mean finnish does have two third-person singular pronouns, hän and se. they're both gender-neutral though, the difference is that hän is super formal and very rarely used in spoken everyday finnish. se, on the other hand, actually means "it". so basically everyone is "it" in finland. I'm "it". my mom is "it". the president is "it". and I'm pretty sure this is why I don't fuss about my pronouns so much. I go by they/them when I'm in english-speaking places, but in my daily life I never have to think about pronouns that much.

I see Hebrew is very close to Italian when talking about gender. b/c of it I hate hebrew, and I love english

A really cool thing Sweden did--they had the same problem--is that they created a completly new, third pronoun that's gender neutral.

Wow you know a lot of languages!! In Chinese, pronouns are written differently but pronounced the same. For example 他 is for referring to a group of people or males, pronounced ta. 她 is for referring to a group of females or just one female, also pronounced ta. Unfortunately there isn’t a singular they in Chinese but I think the closest word that is gender neutral would be 他 because it is used to refer to a group of people regardless of the genders of the people in the group (unless they are all female).

I'm Italian and I use ve/ver pronouns ( it's a neopronoun) and I don't really know how to use it for adjectives and verbs ( they're gendered). I decided with my friend to put ve instead of that final letter he was talking about, but I'd like to know how other people with neoprouns do in gendered languages

great to know lots of different languages pronouns!🙌💚

In Japanese we have "kare" (he) and "konojo" (she), but I recently also discovered that there is "aitsu" (they/them singular) and in they/them in plural is just kare or konojo with another ending. Male plural pronouns would for example be karera.

(I'm learning Spanish right now) in Spanish it's ellos and ellas (o is masc a is fem) and those are they, there is probably a new pronoun but I haven't talked to natives about this. Maybe this helped idk

for the dutch people, you can use die/diegene (enkelvoud) zij/hun (meervoud, maar kan ook enkelvoudig gebruikt worden). or just start to randomly say things in english. you can also try and use english neopronouns in dutch, but not many people will get

Because of your tik tok I figured out who I'm attracted to romantically Thank you!

I had a conversation today on this exact topic and how there are no non-gendered pronouns in German or singular they.

In italiano propongono anche di usare -u alla fine delle parole o simili

WAIT THERE ARE PRONOUNCES FOR THEY/THEM IN FRENCH ?? I didn't know...

My mother language, Turkish is also a genderless language, and I am glad it is. But it is really hard for me to learn European languages, since it is so allien for me to categorize everything as masculine or feminen :(

I’ve been learning to speak German for three years now. The language sorts there has three nouns. Feminine masculine en neutral which I prefer to French which only has masculine and feminine nouns. 🇩🇪

My first language is Spanish

Hi lorenzo I love this video

Ti ringrazio per questo video, finalmente ho trovato qualcuno che si trova nella mia stessa situazione. Sin da piccol* sono rimast* affascinat* dalla lingua inglese proprio per la sua neutralità in materia di genere, e ormai, nonostante non sia fluente in esso, penso per la maggior parte del tempo utilizzandolo, dato che in italiano devo per forza utilizzare la forma maschile o femminile, quando entrambe non mi sembrano giuste per riferirmi a me stess*. P.S. Sono un* tu* grande fan e ti ringrazio per tutti i video che pubblichi, mi hai aiutato molto nel realizzare la mia identità di genere

Ciao! Anch'io insegno italiano, però sono brasiliana e ci sono molte somiglianze tra portoghese e italiano. Ho alcuni studenti che preferiscono il pronome neutro, e trovo molto difficile usare il neutro in una conversazione, perché nel linguaggio scritto possiamo usare x o @... grazie mille per il video! È un argomento molto importante

in spanish we try to use inclussive lenguage, changing the a and o for an e like cansada, cansado with cansade, also there is a gender neutral pronoun that is elle, like ella, el y elle for nb people.

Korean has no gender pronouns lol, it’s pretty cool edit: we do have pronouns but no one uses them and if you did you would sound like a complete weirdo lmao

i'm half italian half german and if I talk about my non-binary friends I use the english they/ them pronouns or whatever pronouns they are comfortable with. But I do also really like the word "raga" in italian in stead of "ragazzi" ^^

the BEGINNING-

I am so happy to live in Sweden where we have the gender neutral pronoun “hen” (Han=he and hon=she) and where most people speak fluent English so that’s always an option too🥰🥰

In French (I’m from England + France), there’s iel as a non gendered pronoun, which I’m super thankful for! But adjectives on the other hand…. One of my teachers called me “beauelle” (pronounce BOU-ELL) as a mix of beau and belle 😂

I'm Chinese and can give some insight about it. so basically it depends on two things: place and dialect. for example, in mainland china, people will most likely use X也 or just the latin letters TA. 他 and 她 would be used for he and she. but in Taiwan, they would use 他 as a gender neutral pronoun, just like how it used to be. we don't use any plural pronouns to describe non binary people unless they were plural. I'd say that it sounds a lot more natural in English in other dialects, there are many pronouns, like thousands that I cannot cover or know. in my dialect, we use 伊 which is a gender neutral pronoun. so yeah there are many variables. edit: I just also wanted to add that all of these pronouns are pronounced the same, which means in spoken language they would all sound the same, unless u were to use a pronoun from another dialect, which native Chinese sometimes do. I also wanted to add that pronouns are not used as much in Chinese compared to English, so u could just drop them

In Chinese (more specifically Cantonese) Thankfully for words like "you" translates to 你 Or 佢 and they are gender neutral, while "them" translates to 他/她 where one is for boys or people you don't know the gender of and the other is for girls (also 妳 which also means "you" is for girls) fortunately I am a she/they so I can just refer to myself as "she" no problem

I'm british-italian who lives in Italy and for pronouns I use they/them in english and he/him in italian. For adjectives my friends, my therapist and I decline as a mix of o and a. (for example belloa only the oa part is short and kinda mumbled.) I know a lot of my other genderfluid friends chage according to what gender they are atm (for those who have read Magnus Chase, kinda like Alex does).

In germany we just have sie (she/her) and er (he/him) but I have heard that many german enbies use sie/er. I'm not nonbinary, but a friend of mine thinks they might be

I speak Serbian, using plural pronouns sounds SO STRANGE here, because plural pronouns are also used when referring to a teacher, a stranger or an important person. Here's a pronoun chart thing: *SINGULAR* Ja = me Ti = you on/ona/ono = he\she/it *PLURAL* Mi = Us Vi = You, except that it's in plural and it's used for non binary people or important people. Oni/One/Ona = They (except that it has genders. the first one is he in plural, second is she in plural and the last one is it in plural.

In the Philippines we just use siya :D

I feel bad for being late lol

Sono italiano e ho sentito che alcuni hanno intenzione di usare "ə" per il neutrale e si pronuncerebbe "uh" Esempio: ləi "l-uh-i"

I’m French-Canadian, and I’m bilingual. French can be very hard for me being a non-binary person, but there are some solutions. Someone in my GSA club suggested a few alternatives for non-binary people. iel is an alternative pronoun, it’s a combination of il and elle, the gendered pronouns in French. But there’s also verbes, because they change for the person doing the action. In English, you can just say “I went”. In French, you have “je suis allé” for The masculine, and “je suis allée” for the féminin. There are some alternatives that are being talkies about, like a non-binary person could use “je suis allae” instead. It’s going to take a lot of work to get these more recognition, but there are other options.

Anyone know what they them pronouns are in Spanish. And instead of cansada or cansado a non-binary version

I am really ealryy

As a japanese person if youre non binary id say use 'san' since its a gender neutral honorific 'kun' is male 'chan' is female ☺️

I‘m German... I hate the language, it sounds harsh and loud and English is just better... And I‘m nonbinary and don’t know which pronouns to use... I want to go by no pronouns, but our language is like REALLY gendered so it‘d be really hard for everyone so I guess I‘ll stay with she/her...

Also learning korean💜 Just... BTS☀️

I'm a native Spanish speaker, and I have heard "elle" being used as a gender neutral pronoun. But you will never hear it in South America, Central America or Mexico. You will only hear it in hispanic lgbtq groups in the us and maybe other places in Europe

In France it's il for masc, elle for fem, and iel, lae for they/them! Iel! It's so hard to Say...

If you don’t feel like gendered pronouns fit you there are some alternative pronouns and some people even have their one personal pronouns 👍🏻 people are cool

I challenge you to make a video about polish pronouns.

In hungarian language we only use " ő " as the only S3 pronoun and i think it mean "they" but it is totally a genderless pronoun

I love Italian but the thing is they/them is loro/loro

Wow I'm early-

Waht about German ?

its why i really like turkish, there arent he/she pronouns (except sir, ms, miss) and objects arent gendered.
