Wtf there’s has to be some sort of gender pronouns, how will people be able to say if there a boy or a girl, wtf

cannibal-rainbow

Umm why? In Finnish we refer to people as you know people and not with our personal presumptions of their gender. Hän pronoun refers to a human being and Se to animal or a thing. But in dialect everyone is Se.

hope-holland

Yeah but I’m sure there’s a female ans male pronoun somewhere in that language

cannibal-rainbow

No in Finnish there is not. And I should now because it’s my mother tongue. Why it seems so weird to you? Many languages don’t have gender pronouns. English is just an exception because English scholars adopted the idea from Latin. There is no “she” or “he” in Finnish. there’s no way to refer to people being women or men except if you are like “that man did this” “My friend Alex who is a girl did that” but people can read the context you know if it’s relevant without being like my FRIEND ALEX THE MAN who has a penis, no titties, likes beer and women. I mean in English you don’t have genders for objects like in French and you are doing fine right? So we are doing fine without gender pronouns.

The word tyttö I that refers to the female gender

cannibal-rainbow

Tyttö means a girl but it’s not a pronoun. You can say a girl did this but you can’t say she did this. Or what do you mean?

hope-holland

That’s what I mention there hast to be some sort of words that refers to a any sort of gender. Even if there’s no she or he is used

unofficial-estonia

Of course, we have words for expressing gender, as man=mees and woman=naine, but if the sentence is written with a pronoun, you have no way of knowing who is doing it.

“Ta jooksis” just means (in Estonian) that someone was running. Was it a woman, man, cat, dog or a bird, no one knows if there wasn’t any context - you just know that is was a living object.

We don’t have gendered pronouns, eg. she and he. What’s the rocket science part of this?

momo-de-avis

How is this person so fixated on the lack of gender pronouns when it says “no future tense” right there

Finnish is the most interesting, intoxicating, eccentric language I’ve ever heard.

languageshock

Yes and it terrifies me.

norwegian-wool-deactivated20170

same it’s so… i just thought to describe it as Elven because it is like this glowing and beautiful and mysterious and superior thing and then I realised that Tolkien actually used it as the inspiration for the Elven languages and oh man
