Macanese

êle (plural ilôtro, female êla)

third-person singular personal pronoun; he/she/they (singular)
Êle nádi vai ― He/she/they (sg.) will not go

In general, Macanese does not make a gender distinction for the third-person singular personal pronoun, similar to Cantonese, however some speakers may use êla for "she", derived from Portuguese ela.
