- Cantonese Pronoun is relatively easy to learn, it doesn't have gender, only "我、你、佢" and simply add "哋" if it's in plural form.
Please note this is the oral colloquial form of Cantonese, the written form does have the gender and some of them are written in a slightly different way:
Oral / Written form -
我 / 我 (I)
你 / 你 (You)
佢 / 他 (He) 、她 (She)、它 (It)
我哋 / 我們 (We)
你哋 / 你們 (You)
佢哋 / 他們 (They (male or mixed group)、她們 (They (female))、它們 (They (neutral gender or objects))
____________________________________________________________
There are numbers 1 to 6, which appear on the right top of each syllable, represent the tone of that word.

Hi, are there no 妳 or 姖 as in Mandarin 妳 and 她 to denote feminine You and She?
In oral Cantonese 佢 represents both genders (either her or him), but when we write in formal way, we also write "她/他" to differentiate "her / him".
For the use of "You", we only use 你 as a neutral gender even though there's OK to be differentiated as "妳 /你", we were taught to use only "你" because it is supposed to be used in a single direction.
