Why doesn't English have pronouns for more types of people

Weird, the instant I started watching a gameplay compilation of that game, I scrolled onto this thread

In finnish:
Me = Minä
You = Sinä
Him/her = Hän
Us = Me
You (plural) = Te
Them = He

is it true that there is no polite society in finland, and that day to day interactions and social structure are difficult for the average finn?

Do you even use plural pronouns, or are they just for translated works?

There's no word for "please", but we do say sorry and thank you when necessary. I wouldn't say that anything is difficult, we know how things here are and work, no need for chit-chat, but maybe in a socially outgoing country the daily life of a finn could be difficult for ex. if strangers start talking to you or something else distracting like that

Plural stuff doesn't really exist outside book language, which is different from spoken language, for example, "minä" becomes "mä", "sinä" becomes "sä" and "hän" often becomes "se" (= "it").
The book language is also used in official jobs and ceremonies or celebrations. It kind of pulls all the finnish dialects together, even though it's based on the western dialects

English has exactly the same number of pronouns as French.

Those are young enough for me to disregard them. Plus, those are talking about genders. What pronoun is there that you use for people you don't know very well?

>>9443387
Fun fact: The Finnish translation for Ulysses uses a new pronoun "hän" for he and "hen" for she since Finnish lacks gender specific pronouns.

>>9443555
They is used for ambiguous situations usually.

>>9443519

We don't have an informal "you"

Not since Shakespeare's time.

>>9444059
"Yous" is common where I'm from

>>9444068
Sorry, I meant 'ye'

>>9444072
I use ye frequently and the girls love it

>>9444068
>>9444072

Both of these are used here (Ireland)

>>9444164
Ye Tyrone here

>>9443000

the hell are you talking about?

il= he
elle= here
ons = slangish type we
nous = regular we
vous = you
ils = they (masc)
elles = they(fem)

This isn't a vast amount more, or very different from english.

>>9444072
how does one pronounce that?

>>9444834
as in "YYEEEEEA BOIII"

>>9444834
like yee, like a pirate "ye scoundrels"

It's "on", you doggy-styled, blubbering and backward monoglot!

>>9443000
>not being Japanese

>not having three main male "I" pronouns, 2 main female "I" pronouns + others but then usually just omitting pronouns anyway

>not having 3 main "you" pronouns but then just calling people by their name instead of using a pronoun in many cases.

Shiggy diggy.

The fuck?

>>9443000

>>9444197
>slangish type we
But that's wrong you faggot

>>9444059

>What is "ya" for $500 Alex

Eg. "How the hell are ya?"

>Forgetting "thee" and "thou" as well as "tha"

Based Yorkshire

That's more colloquial though. What I meant is that we don't have thou and thy anymore, except in Yorkshire apparently >>9445697

These used to be equivalent to the French tu. If you call a stranger "tu" instead of "vous" it's considered rude.

>>9445713

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

>>9445713

"Thou" is apparently directly related to "tu" through an Indo-European root, funnily enough

what are you on senpai:
Je - I
Tu - Thou
Il- He
Elle - She
On (not ons) - One (or we)
Nous - We
Vous - You
Ils - They
Elles - They

mfw the only difference is that the frenchies distinguish between a group of females and a group of males

based shropshire, please and thank you
