Theyself is the AAVE reflexive form of the singular gender-neutral pronoun they — meaning themselves when referring to one person. As singular they has gone mainstream for gender-neutral reference, theyself offers a natural reflexive companion. It fills a genuine grammatical gap and reflects the organic way language communities adapt pronoun systems. You'll hear it in AAVE-rooted speech and increasingly in everyday informal English from younger speakers.
- theyselves62%
A nonstandard or dialectal reflexive pronoun used in place of 'themselves,' common in AAVE (African American Vernacular English) and various regional dialects across the US and UK. It follows a consistent internal logic — paralleling 'myself,' 'yourself,' 'himself,' and 'herself' by using the subject pronoun form rather than the possessive. In AAVE in particular, it is a fully functional grammatical feature rather than an error, and appears in both spoken and written vernacular expression.
