However, when gender becomes a problem it is much more common for people to use the demonstrative adjective and pronoun (that one) as a work-around. Unfortunately, this remedy is not always available. For example, in the sentence, "Someone just said that he is hungry", the pronoun cannot easily be replaced with , as that would normally be understood to refer to someone other than the person speaking: "Someone just said that that person is hungry". Similar problems of confusion arise with trying to use "one" in such situations: "Someone just said that one is hungry". This could be used to express deference or other forms of indirectness, but would not be understood to refer to the person who made the statement. It would be possible to extend the use of reflexive pronoun , which officially cannot occur in subject position, to that of a logophoric pronoun: "Someone just said that himself/herself is hungry". Although not a full solution, as refers to a previously mentioned person, this could be used in combination with to introduce a subject. It also has the advantage of clarifying the sentence, since it is ambiguous in standard Esperanto whether "he" refers to the someone who is speaking, or someone else. However, logophoric pronouns are alien to European languages, and this solution is rare. Due to English influence, singular "they" has been reported: "Someone just said that they are hungry." However this causes problems regarding Esperanto’s noun agreements and is not readily accepted by people of other language backgrounds. A proposal is to hyphenate (he) and (she) to or , similar to some other constructs in Esperanto, such as (more or less). New pronouns Existing Esperanto personal pronouns end in i, and only two proposals for a new pronoun are at all common: and the blend . As of 2019, is the most popular gender-neutral pronoun proposal. Another proposal is the blend , the reading pronunciation of the abbreviation "s/he". It is frequently seen in informal writing. {|class=wikitable |+Gender-neutral pronoun proposals !
