	Another gender-neutral way of speaking or writing Polish is rewording phrases to use a non-gendered conjugation of a verb.

Verbally all gendered pronouns sound the same, and so they technically can be gender neutral. In literature, the male form of tā (他) resembles to the female form of tā (她), except for the most-left part. The female character is first used in the late-1950s. The male character is therefore considered 'most' genderneutral, though versions like: X也 ( by using the latin X + 'yě') may as well be used. The pronounciation of the character for "she" has never changed after adding a new character.

	In 2024 the ~~Swedish’s~~ official gender-neutral pronoun is hen/hen/hens. The Swedish common-inanimate pronoun den/den/dens (equivalent to it/it/its) is also used for gender-neutral language and by some [[nonbinary]] people, as well as the non-standard anglicized practice of singular de/dem/deras (they/them/their). Some [[nonbinary]] people have also opted for [[neopronouns\|neopronoun]] such as hin/hin/hins, which is in actuality an obsolete pronoun that means something alike “that one”, but is in modern times pretty much only used in the set phrase “hin håle” (the hard one, the devil).
