In Tjoc the pronouns ''he'' and ''skjo'' are used only for living beings who are sexually male and female respectively, to talk about objects of neuter gender it is used the pronoun '''het''', whereas to talk about objects of common gender it is used the pronoun '''hen'''. The latter is used also to refer to a living being, such as an animal, whose physical gender doesn't matter. | |||
