al gender-neutral (third-person singular, plural als, accusative lu)

  1. (gender-neutral, neologism, nonstandard) they (singular). A gender-neutral singular third-person subject personal pronoun.
    Synonyms: ael, iel, ul, ol
    • 2022, Vinay Swamy, Louisa Mackenzie, Devenir non-binaire en français contemporain[2], Paris: Le Manuscrit, →ISBN, pages 15-16:
      Alpheratz vise un monde dans lequel le neutre ne serait pas une seule notion abstraite, mais bien un vécu et un parler. Parler de la langue, pour Alpheratz, c’est nécessairement parler des significations sociales de ses silences. Car si les mots ont un sens, comme al nous rappelle en tête de son site Web, leur absence en a un aussi.

1 The disjunctive (tonic) forms are also used after an explicit preposition (de/d’, à, pour, chez, dans, vers, sur, sous, ...), instead the accusative, dative, genitive, locative, or reflexive forms, where a preposition is implied.
2 Il is also used as an impersonal nominative-only pronoun.
3 On can also function as a first person plural (although agreeing with third person singular verb forms).
4 The nominal indeterminate form ce (demonstrative) can also be used with the auxiliary verb être as a plural, instead of the proximal or distal gendered forms.
5 The reflexive third person singular forms (se or s’) for accusative or dative are also used as third person plural reflexive.
6 Vous is also used as the polite singular form, in which case the plural disjunctive tonic vous-mêmes becomes singular vous-même.
7 Ils, eux and eux-mêmes are also used when a group has a mixture of masculine and feminine members.
