Pronoun
he (third-person singular, masculine, nominative case, oblique him, reflexive himself, possessive his)
- (personal) A male person or animal already known or implied.
- 1620, Giovanni Bocaccio, translated by John Florio, The Decameron, Containing an Hundred Pleaſant Nouels: Wittily Diſcourſed, Betweene Seuen Honourable Ladies, and Three Noble Gentlemen[1], Isaac Iaggard, →ISBN, Nouell 8, The Eighth Day:
- […] purſued his vnneighbourly purpoſe in ſuch ſort: that hee being the ſtronger perſwader, and ſhe (belike) too credulous in beleeuing or elſe ouer-feeble in reſiſting, from priuate imparlance, they fell to action; and continued their cloſe fight a long while together, vnſeene and vvithout ſuſpition, no doubt to their equall ioy and contentment.
- 1886, Peter Christen Asbjørnsen, translated by H.L. Brækstad, Folk and Fairy Tales, page 77:
- "It was he we saw the tracks of down by Rausand hill."
- July 18 2012, Scott Tobias, AV Club The Dark Knight Rises[2]
- Though Bane’s sing-song voice gives his pronouncements a funny lilt, he doesn’t have any of the Joker’s deranged wit, and Nolan isn’t interested in undercutting his seriousness for the sake of a breezier entertainment.
- For more quotations using this term, see Citations:he.
- (personal, sometimes proscribed, see usage notes) They; he or she (a person whose gender is unknown or irrelevant).
- The rulebook clearly states that "if any student is caught cheating, he will be expelled", and you were caught cheating, were you not, Anna?
- (personal, sometimes proscribed) It; an animal whose gender is unknown.
- A genderless object regarded as masculine, such as certain stars or planets (e.g. Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter) or certain ships.
- 1770, A Mathematical Miscellany in Four Parts, 3rd edition, page 125:
- JUPITER is the largest of all the Planets, his Orbit lies between the Orbits of the Earth and Mars, and at the cast Distance of 426 Millions of Miles from the Sun, he goes round him in 11 Years, 314 Days and 12 Hours; […]
- 2019, Sabaton, Bismarck:
- He [= the ship Bismarck] was made to rule the waves across the seven seas […]
Usage notes
- He was traditionally used as both a masculine and a gender-neutral pronoun, but since the mid-20th century generic usage has sometimes been considered sexist and limiting.[1][2] It is deprecated by some style guides, such as Wadsworth.[3] In place of generic he, writers and speakers may use he or she, alternate he and she as the indefinite person, use the singular they, or rephrase sentences to use plural they.
Synonyms
- (person whose gender is unknown): one, you (indefinite, colloquial); he or she, he/she, they, s/he, or these other third-person pronouns (see "Combined forms", "Invented pronouns")
- (animal whose gender is unknown): it

Finnish
Etymology 1
From Proto-Finnic *hek, from Proto-Finno-Permic *sej. Cognates include Northern Sami sii, Erzya сынь (siń). The word is inflected as plural, but there is no plural marker in the nominative, except in dialects (het). See hän for more details on history of usage.
Pronunciation
Pronoun
he
- (personal) they (plural, only of people)
- (respectful) he, she, one, (singular) they (of a single human being, like hän)
- they (in indirect speech: referring to the subjects of the main clause, regardless of whether they are human beings or not, i.e. logophoric pronoun)
Usage notes
- In standard Finnish, he is practically never omitted, despite the verb showing both the person and the number (compare the usage of hän).
Declension
- Irregular (inflectional stem hei-, as if in the plural). The comitative and instructive forms don't exist; the abessive is hardly used.
- In addition to the standard set of cases, he and other personal pronouns have a specific accusative form, heidät.
