Message definition (Gender neutral language in Swedish)

*'''Barn.''' Neutral, standard. Means child(ren)/kid.
* '''Bebis.''' Neutral, standard. Means baby.
*'''Småbarn.''' Neutral, standard. Means toddler.
*'''Tonåring.''' Neutral, standard. Means teenager.
*'''Ungdom.''' Neutral, standard. Means youth/youngster.
*'''Telning, ättling, avkomma/avkomling.''' Neutral, would sound weird in conversation. "Telning" is an uncommon word that basically means progeny (or more directly the botanical term "scion" or "shoot"), "ättling" and "avkomma/avkomling" are standard words that mean "descendant" and "offspring" respectively. They can be used as alternatives to refer to someone in relation to them being one's child, but not necesserily a young child agewise.
*'''Äldsta/förstfödda, mellan-/andra-/trejde-/fjärde-/... födda, yngsta/sistfödda.''' Neutral. Means oldest/first-born, middle-/second-/third-/fourth-/...-born and youngest/last-born. They can be used as alternatives to refer to someone in relation to them being one's child in a gender-neutral way but also as to not necesserily specify them being a young child agewise.
