代词
代词 are short words that English speakers use in lieu of continually using someone's name. The most common pronouns are he/him/his and she/her/hers when you are talking about one person (Sam took his dog for a walk. He has a corgi.) and they/them/theirs when talking either about one person or a group of people (Sam and Demi went to the store. 他们给中心买了零食。
In our society, we automatically assume pronouns, which are based on our guess of someone's gender identity. Rather than a guess, it is better to either ask or use the person's name instead of assuming their correct pronouns. One way to learn another person's pronouns is when you introduce yourself, you can include your pronouns for the other person.
例如，我是Demi，我使用她/她/她的代词。 Below are the most common pronouns that people use. If you encounter a pronoun that you are unfamiliar with, we recommend searching the internet for more information.
他/他/他的
The pronoun sequence, he/him/his/himself, is most commonly attributed to those who identity as men. However, we cannot guess an individual's gender identity by knowing their chosen pronoun, even if society assumes those who use this sequence identify as men. 使用这个代词的一些例子如下：
- 他去商店买牛奶。
- 请把那块蛋糕给他。
- 这块蛋糕是他的。
- 他最喜欢的蛋糕是funfetti。
- 他自视甚高。
S他/她/她的
The pronoun sequence, she/her/hers/herself, is most commonly attributed to those who identify as women. However, we cannot guess an individual's gender identity by knowing their chosen pronoun, even if society assumes those who use this sequence identify as women. 使用这个代词的一些例子如下：
- 她去商店买牛奶。
- 请把那块蛋糕给她。
- 这块蛋糕是她的。
- 她最喜欢的蛋糕是funfetti。
- 她自视甚高。
他们/他们/他们的
The pronoun sequence, they/them/theirs/themself (themselves), is most commonly attributed to those in a group. However, we also can use they/them/theirs/themself as a singular pronoun, meant to be more encompassing of gender. Some examples of this pronoun in its singular use are:
- They went to the store to buy milk.
- 请把那块蛋糕给他们。
- 这块蛋糕是他们的。
- 他们最喜欢的蛋糕是funfetti。
- 他们自视甚高。
泽/ Hir / Hirs
The pronoun sequence, ze(zie)/hir/hirs/hirself, is a common gender inclusive pronoun. However, we cannot guess or assume an individual's gender identity by knowing their chosen pronoun. 这个代词单数用法的例子有：
- 泽去商店买牛奶。 （“Ze”的发音与字母“z”相似）
- Please give the piece of cake to hir. （Hir的发音类似于“here”）
- 这块蛋糕是我的。（Hirs的发音类似于“here”）
- 他最喜欢的蛋糕是funfetti。
- Ze thinks highly of hirself. （他自己的发音类似于“here-self”）
