释义

'Elle' is a gender-neutral pronoun used in Spanish (and sometimes Portuguese) to refer to someone who does not identify strictly as male or female, or prefers a neutral form instead of 'he' or 'she'.

用法与细微差别

'Elle' is not standard in English; it's mainly seen in Spanish (and some Portuguese) to promote gender inclusivity. It's relatively new and not officially recognized by all institutions. Usage is more common in LGBTQ+ contexts. Not to be confused with the French 'elle' meaning 'she.'
