Zijnzij

Zijnzij is a Dutch word that translates to "his/her" or "his or her" in English. It is used to refer to something belonging to either a male or a female person, without specifying the gender. This usage is common in formal or neutral contexts where the gender of the person is not known or is not relevant. For example, "zijnzij auto" means "his or her car." The term is part of the Dutch language's efforts to promote gender neutrality and inclusivity. It is often used in legal documents, official forms, and other contexts where gender-specific language is avoided. The use of "zijnzij" reflects a broader trend in many languages to create more inclusive and gender-neutral terminology.
