    Wird das dann anders ausgesprochen als ‘il’? Vom klang her fänd ich sonst ‘ille’ besser dazwischen

    Im deutschen bin ich bisher nur ‘dey’ begegnet, also they eingedeutscht

    Proto-Finnic and current Finnish (and many of its sibling languages) has had a gender-neutral “Hän” (in some form) for about 3000-5000 years.

      Is it fine to use “Hän” for people, or is it like English “it” and German “es” that are considered rude in standard language?

        Actually vice versa, it’s often considered too polite. We tend to use “se” aka “it” in speech.
