Mayonaise Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 unfortunately, no. when sex is unknown, you refer to people as "him" or "he", usually. like, on forms, instructions and such, everything is written to a male user (and should be taken as the same for women). Edit: למה לך ללמוד עברית? :P That seems inconvenient. Do you know how people tend to react when someone they read as female is speaking in the masculine form, and vice versa? Gahh, I'll just write in the masculine form for now. אני מתעניין מאוד בשפות, ופעם כששמעתי מישהו שדיבר עברית התאהבתי את השפה והחלטתי ללמוד אותה. I hope it's comprehensible enough; I seldom get the chance to practice using the language. Link to post Share on other sites
