What do you do when you have fallen in love with someone but you are not sure if they feel the same? Do you tell them and risk losing their friendship or do you hide it and risk them being someone else?

Birine aşık olduğunda ama onun da senin için aynı şeyleri hissedip hissetmediğine emin olamadığında ne yapardın? Bunu ona söyleyip arkadaşlığınızı mı riske atardın yoksa kendine saklayıp onun başkasının olmasını mı riske ederdin?

Ps why you use "they" instead of he/she? İt doesnt make sense to me. Hope someone explain.

I think this is the way in English to refer to some other person if you don´t want to say he or she because:

• you want to reference generally "some other person", not a particular man or woman.
• or you don´t want to sound sexist.

But better to wait for comments from native English speaker or someone more advanced in this language.

anybody anyone somebody someone nobody no one everybody and everyone are used with singular verbs. however we often use plural pronouns and possesive adjectives (they them their) to refer to these words especially in a conversational style.

if anybody calls tell them i am out, but take their name and address

nobody came did they?

someone left their umbrella behind yesterday. would they please collect it from the office?

everyone thinks they are the centre of the universe.

in these sentences they them and their do not have plural meanings. they are used instead of the expression he or she him or her his or her as a way of purposely not specifying the sex of the person referred to. they can also be used with whoever and with indefinite expressions like a person.

whoever comes tell them to go away.

when a person has no will to live,they are often very difficult to help.

in a formal style he him and his (not necessarily referring to a male person) are generally used instead of they etc.

when a person has no will to live, he is often very difficult to help.
