>referring to people as "he" or "she"
>not referring to them as "it"
In Finland, folk only refer to people as "he" or "she" if they are autistic, or if they are talking about their pet ironically.
Maybe if you're twelve
>Finland
>talking to people
Nice proxy
>not using hen
It's like you guys aren't even checking your privileges.

why are fins obsessed with chicanos ?
>>68745320
The funny thing here is that "hen" comes from the finnish "hän", which means the exact same thing. Finns have literally used the word all along. They are the original SJWs.
>>68745898
"Hän" is a made up word for standardized Finnish. We use the word "se" meaning "it" for both people and objects.
>Not having gendered words
The dog, he barks
The music, she is loud

Wtf my finnish textbook lied to me.
>>68746254
I mean "hän" is a real word and "officially" it should be used when talking about other persons, but we just use "se"
>>68746254
He's 80% lying. Se is acceptable sometimes but not really when talking about someone you actually know in which case you would want to use their first name or nick name.
>>68746254
Well it's a textbook for written Finnish, but no one speaks, except assburgers.
>>68746407
>speaks it*
>>68746364
Obviously when you are talking about someone, you refer to them using their name at first, but you call them "se" after that.
Do English speakers say "it must be hungry" or "he must be hungry" when referring to a male pet?
>>68745217
That is deffinately a rare pekka roight there
>>68745370
I don't now, esé
>>68745217
We have the same phenomenon in Estonian, but it's much less widespread and it's considered a bit rude.
"see ütles" - "it said" instead of "tema ütles" - "he/she said"
Estonian "tema" is the same origin as Finnish "tämä".

>In Finland, folk only refer to people as "he" or "she" if they are autistic
there's no ''he'' or ''she'' in finnish
>>68746254
he's just full of shit and from some ghetto where people refer to each other as they were animals
>>68754446
>In Finland, folk only refer to people as "non-gender-specific personal pronoun" if they are autistic
Does that work better for you?
>>68747026
depends on how much the person likes animals. I'd say 'it' but most pet owners would say 'he/she'
>>68746254
Hän is correct but no one uses "hän", only in really official situations people say it
>>68754347
*fucks*
u happy now?
>>68746222
The frog knows
>>68747026
He, though some people who haven't known the pet for very long might call it "it".
