Did you know that in Swedish we have the word home meaning sheet, we have the word hung, meaning he, but we also the word hen, meaning he she. So basically a general s word. There's a lot of people out there don't want to identify themselves with a gender. And so for that reason, we've come up with the word hen recently in Swedish here. But Chinese has already been doing this for quite some time, because they have the word sheet, which is par, and they have the word heat, which is car and they have the word it's which is par. So everything's just taught, but you can however, tell them apart by looking at the characters.

You see the characters are different, but the sounds are not okay. And that's interesting then, so if you write with the pinion, which is his TA, then no one will have a clue which one you're talking about, is it he she or it we have no idea. So Chinese has basically been doing this generalist thing that Swedish people think we're unique by doing for a very, very long time already well since the beginning of Chinese language time, and that's quite a long time. So now there was a bit of Swedish contemporary history if that's a word, but also China. Nice in three words, we have he, she and it and that's all part. So now we actually know I, you she he in it, okay, it's more and then it's me.

And then it's tough, it's tough and it's tar. And that's the imaginative person behind the camera par par par. Remember all of this part in addition to being like genderless they also subject and object less they can both be a subject or an object as in they can both mean she or her or he or him, etc. So basically learning just one sound for the equivalent of like six words in English then, isn't that amazing? last note here is that you can look at these articles as well. And you can look at those just Chinese characters, but then all of a sudden you have TA and that's actually part maybe they're lazy, or maybe they're progressive.

By the way. If you say one neat part, Juanita, say quickly and switch around the sounds a little bit it sounds like Monica. Juanita, Juanita Juanita Chinese for you would be like swimming in the parks walking in. You see, everything's difficult for me but if your name is Monica or Nina, it shouldn't be difficult. It should be a walk in the yeah
