Ve audio micro-course (transcript)

Three short podcasts about “Ve”. Listen with the interactive player.

Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning

Narrator: Today's term is ve — pronounced VEE, IPA /viː/.

Narrator: Ve has two uses. First, it is a gender-neutral pronoun — used in place of he or she for a person of unspecified or non-binary gender.

Narrator: Second, it appears as a combining form or suffix in everyday English — the shortened verb in I've, we've, and they've, where ve stands for have.

Narrator: As a pronoun, ve is part of a small family — ve, ver, and vis — invented to offer a neutral alternative to gendered words.

Narrator: These neopronouns emerged through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, as people sought more inclusive ways to refer to one another.

Narrator: As the contracted have, ve is far older — a natural worn-down form that English speakers have used in speech for centuries.

Narrator: The register depends on the use: the pronoun ve is modern and inclusive; the suffix ve in I've is informal everyday speech.

Narrator: Related forms include they used singularly, and the full word have, but ve is the compact, flexible little form.

Narrator: Ve is a small word doing big work — naming people kindly, and shrinking have into everyday speech.

Podcast 2 — In conversation

Speaker A: I've been reading about neopronouns — apparently some people prefer ve instead of he or she.

Speaker B: Yes, ve is one of the gender-neutral options. You'd say ve is coming to the party, just as you'd say she is or he is.

Speaker A: And then there's the other ve — the one hiding in I've and we've, where ve just means have.

Speaker B: Exactly. We've shrunk have down to ve in speech for ages. I've, you've, they've — all the same little ve doing the work of have.

Speaker A: What's the difference between the pronoun ve and singular they?

Speaker B: Singular they is far more common and widely accepted — they is happy. Ve is a rarer neopronoun some people choose specifically. Both aim to be neutral, but they is mainstream, ve is more niche.

Speaker A: So if someone tells me their pronoun is ve, I should just use it.

Speaker B: Absolutely — using someone's chosen pronoun is simple respect. And mind the contraction ve: it always needs the apostrophe, I've, never Ive.

Speaker A: Good tip — apostrophe before the ve every time.

Speaker B: Right. One small form, two jobs — a respectful pronoun, and the everyday short form of have.

Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering

Speaker B: Let's look at how ve works in AI prompts. As a pronoun it's great for inclusive design, and as a form it teaches contractions.

Speaker A: Ve as an inclusive pronoun — building apps that respect how people are addressed?

Speaker B: Exactly. Inclusive defaults matter. First prompt — a profile system:

Prompt: Build a profile page that supports custom pronouns including ve. Let users pick ve, she, he, or they, store the choice, and use ve correctly in every message the app shows.

Speaker B: Ve tells the AI to honour chosen pronouns — the app addresses everyone respectfully.

Speaker A: The inclusive profile is clear. What about messaging?

Speaker B: Here:

Prompt: Build a notification system that uses each user's pronoun. If a user's pronoun is ve, write ve has a new message, so every alert reads naturally and respectfully.

Speaker A: Ve woven into messages — thoughtful. For a database?

Speaker B: Try this:

Prompt: Design a users table with a pronoun field that allows ve. Store the subject, object, and possessive forms like ve, ver, vis, so the app can build any sentence correctly.

Speaker A: Ve stored with all its forms — clean. For a language tool?

Speaker B: Like this:

Prompt: Build a grammar helper that teaches the ve contraction. Show how have shrinks to ve in I've and we've, and let learners practise expanding ve back to have.

Speaker A: Ve as a contraction lesson — practical. And for form validation?

Speaker B: Here:

Prompt: Build a settings form where users add a pronoun like ve. Validate the entry, preview a sample sentence using ve, and confirm it reads naturally before saving.

Speaker A: Ve previewed in a real sentence — smart and respectful.

Speaker B: One small form with big reach. Use ve in a prompt and the AI builds inclusive, respectful, grammar-aware tools around it.
