Он, она, оно

Russian pronouns He, She... It?

In English, the pronoun "it" is typically used to refer to non-human objects, animals (when the gender is unknown or irrelevant), and abstract concepts. However, in Russian, the pronouns "он" (he) and "она" (she) are used not just for people, but also for inanimate objects and animals, based on the grammatical gender of the noun they refer to. Russian does not have a direct equivalent of the English pronoun "it."
