You'd say 'I wanted to name it' in English

But what if its about a human being? You don't say "it" to a human being, or?

Well you'd know the sex of a human being, in most cases. So you'd say I wanted to name him or her. If there were two or more of different sexes you would say 'I wanted to name them'.

If you want to take gender completely out of it you could say 'i wanted to name the cat' or I wanted to name the baby'.

Im not talking about cats now, but human.

In Sweden we have:
He = Han
She = Hon
Unknown gender = Hen

You don't have the word for when the gender is unknown/unspecified right, you go with "he/she" ?

Just a question.

"It" for animals, "they/them" for people.

Yes, the common way over here was to say "han/hon" (he/she). But then this old forgotten word "hen" was sort of re-discovered and became the standard in the last 5-10 years. Nifty having one word for it.

And it also encapsules all other gender identities, or do not have to point to genders at all.

I specifically said human beings in answer to your question. What was so confusing?

Hen (Swedish: [hɛn:] (

listen)) is a gender-neutral personal pronoun in Swedish intended as an alternative to the gender-specific hon ("she") and han("he"). It can be used when the gender of a person is not known or when it is not desirable to specify them as either a "she" or "he". The word was first proposed in 1966, and again in 1994, with reference to the Finnish hän, a personal pronoun that is gender-neutral, since Finnish does not have grammatical genders. However, it did not receive widespread recognition until around 2010, when it began to be used in some books, magazines and newspapers, and provoked media debates and controversy over feminism, gender neutrality, and parenting. In July 2014 it was announced that henwould be included in Svenska Akademiens ordlista, the official glossary of the Swedish Academy.

The cat I was suppose to pick up, and they wanted me to pick up today but I asked if I could check out tomorrow instead has been given away to someone else now.

Now I will never know how it would be to get to now that cat. Boo.

And now I will have to find something else to do with Agnes.

Pet adoption is very rewarding. I hope you find a cat that you want to adopt. Dogs are nice as well, I have a dog...

LOL - that's a definite 'It' no matter the circumstances. Even in Sweden they'd have to say 'It'.

In Sweden you are not allowed to sell alcohol if you do not offer some kind of food. As in, places can't just sell alcohol.

That could be interpreted as just selling chips, or do they mean proper meals?

REQUIREMENTS FOR FOOD There should always be access to a varied range of cooked or otherwise prepared food. The food must be cooked in the kitchen and must not consist of only prefabricated ingredients. However, after 23:00 it can be enough with a few simple dishes.

We do not have those requirements here, but my hunch tells me that if you sell food, the liquor licence is easier to come by.

Fuck. I kinda feel like I missed out on something not adopting 10 months old Sigge the cat.

If it's a cat you want, there will be plenty of other opportunities. If you never even met this cat, did you really have a connection with it? There will be another Sigge. Or Findus. Or Smulan. You could even name it Agnes.

Are you googling swedish cat names?

No, I'm just very talented.

Has Pearl Jam ever played Estonia? They should play Talinn next tour just to stick it to Finland a little more.

So the Agnes hangout is tomorrow? What is the game plan? Maybe you both could hold a pair of scissors together and cut some pizza.

Toots is Jamaican. So English. You should know that.

Any updates on progress with Maja?

Its in 3 hours.

We will pick up my shoes and drink a beer.

Maja I might meet afterwards for beer. Depending on how much time every thing takes.

Yes, not only beer with one friend of the opposite gender. But two. @mcgruff10 get's his mind blown. *poff*

Should I ask Agnes out on a date?
