My question comes from a grammar /German background: We have four cases. They have different pronouns. Which ones should I list?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Whichever ones you want English speakers to use when referring to you.

Simple, isn't it?

Everything is simple when you know the solution.

I was not really expecting English speakers to use my German pronouns, they are for German speaking people.

Would that be the Dativ or Akkusativ form? They are both quite common and important

Es geht nur um das Geschlecht, also er/sie/es. Mann kann das gleiche auf deutsch machen, die Fälle haben eigentlich nichts damit zu tun.

Es geht nur darum, wie sich der Person fühlt. Leute mit eine biologische "Zwischen-Zustand" sind ein gutes Beispiel für uns "0815" leute. Sollte ich sie oder er sagen zur eine Person mit weiblichen Büßen und einen Penis? Die leute (und auch andere die sich als nicht Standard fühlen) wollen einfach selber einschneiden wie man sie adressiert.

(Entschuldigung wegen meinen Grammatik-Fehlern, mein Deutsch wird ständig schlimmer)

Okay, then you use whichever English pronoun you wish to use. Again, pretty simple. I really don't think this is something you couldn't have figured out for yourself just by spending time around English speakers or even just watching English-language media or listening to English-language music.

Most commonly used English pronouns are typically listed as "he/him", "she/her". Sometimes people add possessive forms as well ("ie "she/her/hers". "They/them", "she/they", "he/they", "they/he", "they/she", "he/she", "any" are other common options. There's not hard rules though.
