He or she: one single word
Armenian has no grammatical gender, not even for pronouns.
“Na” means “he” or “she”, depending on who you are talking about. Good is “lav” for everyone: the adjective never changes.
No “le” or “la” to memorise for each noun: one worry less when learning.
Did you know? To specify a female, there is a suffix, “uhi”: usutsich (teacher) gives usutschuhi (female teacher).
