Example sentences

• 我们使用“ĝi”这个词，既不指男性，也不指女性，而是无性别、性别未知、或者性别无关紧要的事物。因此，我们几乎在所有情况下都可以用这个词平替“tio”，二者含义几乎一模一样。
  We use the word "ĝi" when we are not talking about a man or a woman, but about something that has no sex or whose sex is unknown or indifferent to us. Consequently, we can almost always use this word very well in place of "tio", whose meaning is almost the same.
