  • thankfully Chinese has always had a singular they, “他.”

    for your convenience:

    • 我: I, 我們: we
    • 你: you, 妳: feminine you, 你們: plural you
    • 他: he or sing. they, 她: she, 他們 plural they

     

    by the way, 他 used to be he, she, or sing. they. the usage of 她 as she and 妳 as you (for females) is relatively recent. even now, you could replace all the ones with a “女” on its left with its “亻” counterpart and no one will say a thing. they are also pronounced identically.
