NO GENDERED PRONOUNS BABYYYYYYY
The whole "what's your pronouns" thing

Doesn't exist!
At all
Unless you are an inanimate object you will be a "tema"
Fuck it even animals are called "tema"

In a non joking manner though it does bring up an interesting topic of how like.... In english the pronouns topic is one heavily discussed and one that people really attach their gender identity to. So much of people's gender identity is based on and reliant on just a few words and it's interesting how that... Just doesn't exist in Estonian!

It's just...
I started thinking about it bcs like... I very much do not give a fuck what pronouns are used when referring to me, despite being a cis woman and I think it's because pronouns just.... don't mean nearly as much to me as they do to ppl who natively speak languages with gendered pronouns.
Does that make sense

Anyways that's the end of this ramble

But do YOU have FOURTEEN noun cases? 2 of which are totally irregular with no set endings! (and a 3rd which technically has a set ending, but has about as many irregular as regular words)

See you went over it the wrong way!
Instead of creating a third you should've deleted one of the first two!

2. Be either a socialist or an anarchist + always be ready for a revolution

If there isn't a revolution in american I'd be very surprised. Our country is literally tearing itself apart.

The only language I know of and has a lot of pronouns that mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably is a conlang.
