 The impersonal pronoun ''tung'' (from ''tăchung'' 'some') can be used instead of a passive voice. In fact it's more general purpose than the passive voice which can only be used to turn direct objects into subjects. As in English, the impersonal may be used to state general commands, especially prohibitions:
-:'''''Tung die lieb sä șa ngud mi ădoac tsrăboł.'''''
+:'''''Tung die lieb sä șa ngud mĭ ădoac tsrăboł.'''''

-Gender-neutral neopronouns in the 2sg informal and 3sg are considered pretty much necessary by people who want them, because singular ''łănam'' already has a function as an archaic polite pronoun. ''łech/łeth/łec'' (2sg informal) and ''ich/ith/ic'' (3sg) but there is no universally accepted standard yet. People may opt to use no pronoun, or be referred to as "fi croth fid" (that person), Alternatively, the plural forms ''łănam'' and ''ănam'' may be used.
