Nosotres

Nosotres is a gender-neutral pronoun in Spanish, proposed as an alternative to the traditional gendered pronouns él (he) and ella (she), and the masculine plural pronoun nosotros (we, masculine or mixed-gender) and feminine plural pronoun nosotras (we, feminine). The use of "nosotres" aims to provide a more inclusive option for individuals who do not identify strictly within the gender binary or for groups where inclusivity is desired.

The formation of "nosotres" follows a pattern of linguistic innovation in Spanish, often seen in the adoption of the "-e" ending for gender-neutral terms. Other examples include "elles" (they, gender-neutral singular) and "todes" (all, gender-neutral). While not yet universally recognized by official linguistic bodies, "nosotres" is gaining traction in certain social and academic circles, particularly among younger generations and LGBTQ+ communities. Its usage reflects a growing awareness of and desire for gender-inclusive language. The pronunciation is similar to "noh-SOH-tres". The debate surrounding its adoption involves discussions about linguistic tradition, the evolution of language, and the importance of representation.
