The following pronouns have been suggested by some University students now, and referenced in a couple articles), but aren't really ‘in use’ at this point:
“sier” (sies/siem/sien),
- Possessivpronomen sieni (sienir / seinis),
- Artikel/Relativpronomen dier (dies /diem /dien)
Ah, so they have come up with a word. It has always frustrated me that there was not a word I could use instead of "he/she", which sounds strange and awkward. The most frustrating part of replacing "he/she" with "they" is that "they" is plural and people use it to talk about a single person. I strive to always use proper grammar and "they" is technically wrong. However, I do realize that some people prefer to use "they" rather than "he" or "she" since they do not identify with either gender. I think it would be really cool if "sier" becomes commonly used for it would solve some of the issues when trying to communicate effectively in the English language.
