so, i've been noticing lately that english speakers that don't support neopronouns have been saying stuff like "neopronouns are for americans, no one else uses neopronouns in other languages! they're confusing to non-natives!" and it honestly upsets me SO MUCH, because that's simply not true! neopronouns exist all around the world, and i'm here to speak for hispanic neopronoun users as an argentine myself.
spanish does not have an equivalent to they/them, "someone dropped their wallet, if i find them i'll give it back to them" would be "a alguien se le cayó su billetera, si lo encuentro se la devolveré" (someone dropped his wallet, if i find him i'll give it back to him).
so, since there's many non-binary people that felt like they needed a gender-neutral pronoun for themselves, elle/le was invented as opposed to él/lo.
as you may know, a neopronoun is a pronoun that is not official to a language (although some neopronouns may become official), and since elle/le is not official to spanish, it's a neopronoun to us.
and no, this isn't our only neopronoun.
we have others such as elli/li, ellu/lu, il/li, etc. that do not have a translation to english, kinda like how xe/xem, ze/zir, ae/aer, etc. do not have a translation to spanish.
and yes, these are actually used, and not only online: i've had many friends in my country that used these pronouns among nounself pronouns (a friend that used él/ella/elli/quack, another one that used elle/ella, etc.)

The image on the right is the same flag with the color-meanings of each stripe, and from top to bottom, these are the meanings: Mint green - italian origins of the pronouns, Turquoise - disabled and neurodivergent users, White - neopronouns around the world, Light purple - trans hispanics, and Brown - people of color hispanics.

Sorry for not updating, but these last few days have been very busy. Yesterday I finish the analisis of two texts and today I'm going to start to analyse a new language and I'm really happy for that. I'm finish the unit of Cela and I want to read some of his books because I think they're interesting. Today I have to finish another book and to review some units.
Do you like Harry Styles. Right now I'm wearing a T-shirt of his concert. What an incredible day!
See you tonight.
Loveeeee

Today has been a good day. I've wrote some pages of my end-of-degree work. I haven't finish all the texts, but I hope to be able to do so tomorrow.
Sometimes it's really hard to continue when you've been told you're not enough (yes, that was the reason my ex break up with me). I have to study a lot and tomorrow I have to finish all my Moorish analysis text, but I'm trying so hard. I have some weeks and I know I'm able if I maintain this rhythm.
I like to write here because I will have a track of my days for the future. I promise I will do it better when I have more time (with photos, links and all that stuff). Tell me if you're interested in Spanish literature because I can talk about that and read together some books.
Hope you're well. You can do it. You're enough.
Love,
A.
P.D. do any of you know anything about Arabic grammar? I do not know what tashdīd means and how it works. Thanks.
