Message definition (Gender neutral language in Swedish)

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, singular de/dem/deras (they/them/their) is also used. Singular de/dem/deras can often be used as a gender-neutral pronoun without it sounding weird, even though it is not recognized or documented for being able to do so, if de/dem/deras is used in singular, the numeral conjugations of other words could be in singular as well. Some nonbinary people have also opted for neopronouns such as hin/hin/hins, which is actually not a new pronoun but an obsolete pronoun (archaeopronoun) 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).

Svenskans officiella könsneutrala pronomen är hen/hen/hens. Det svenska utrum-inanimata pronomenet den/den/dens (motsvarande it/it/its) används också för könsneutralt språk och av vissa icke-binära personer, såväl som den icke-standardiserade angliciserade praktiken av singular de/dem/deras (they/them/their). Vissa icke-binära personer har också valt neopronomen som hin/hin/hins, vilket i själva verket är ett föråldrat pronomen som betyder något liknande "den där", men som i modern tid nästan bara används i den fasta frasen "hin håle" (den hårda, djävulen).
