TheSmolFoxWeeb Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I’m taking Spanish and am getting increasingly annoyed that I have to choose between she/her and he/him pronouns. Is there a gender neutral option? Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a gender neutral option? Generally if you plug “e” in generally gendered language you can have your gender neutral variant of that. In example: “ella” is for “hers” in many contexts, you can do “elle” to then have a form of “they” But you can use any “-o” and it can be seen as neutral. -🌌 Link to post Share on other sites
Rynn Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Yeah, 'elle' seems to have caught on most. And then adjectives end in 'e' instead of 'a' or 'o'. So it's not only pronouns, other words are gendered as well. So, for example, Elsa starts every video with 'bienvenides' instead of 'bienvenidos', because Spanish is also gendered when you talk to groups of people (defaulting to masculine unless it's all girls). Vosotres instead of vosotros or vosotras. It's a lotta words you gotta change. Spoiler Link to post Share on other sites
GingerRose Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I don't. Just like in other languages, if there isn't a term for it, make it up. You have to explain it anyway what you mean. Link to post Share on other sites
