Random thought but

I think it/its pronouns are very cool

And it's kinda annoying that in german, the it/its equivalent looks exactly like he/him in most forms >>: Like, I'd like an "es" that's fully distinct, pls??

(It goes like:

"he/him/his" is "er/ihn/sein"

"it/it/its" is "es/ihn/sein"

"she/her/hers" is "sie/sie/ihr"

... and then they all have a bunch of additional forms depending on a bunch of grammar stuff, but they all look BASICALLY like that)

@forestine

Oh wait, french has an "it/its" equivalent? :DD

I thought they basically only had two grammatical genders, and like ... "on" and I suppose "iel" as a neopronoun

@forestine

Ahhhh, I see! German DOES have a fully distinct neutral grammatical gender, just the pronouns have this overlap :/
