passage: Third-person pronoun
Finnish, as other Uralic languages, has no way to express gender with pronouns. The Finnish "hän" has inspired the introduction of the Swedish "hen" pronoun. Finnish is essentially a pronoun dropping language but in the 3rd person singular it is common to use a pronoun explicitly. "Hän/he" are only used about "humans", while "se/ne" are used about animals, inanimate things, and sometimes about people, colloquially and in some cases pejoratively.
