Does Latin have gender-neutral pronouns?

Latin declines masculine, feminine and neuter personal pronouns in the plural as well as the singular. English, on the other hand, uses the generic, gender-neutral "they," "them" and "theirs." Note that the English first and second persons are irregular, and neither pronoun can be declined for gender.

What are the 3 genders in Latin?

All Latin nouns have a gender – they are either masculine, feminine or neuter.

What is neutral gender in Latin?

Neuter gender. Along with masculine and feminine, Latin also has a neuter gender meaning “neither,” that is neither masculine nor feminine. Thus neuter gender is often applied to things which don't have a natural gender, words like: “war” bellum, “iron” ferrum, or “danger” periculum.
