21.02.08 they accepted the female plural, although I'm reading in comments that if you don't know Chinese defaults to the male (like French does).

们 (Men) is used to make plurals.
她们 (Tāmen) = They (She plural)
他们 (Tāmen) = They (He plural)
我们 (Wǒmen) = We
你们 (Nǐmen) = You (plural)
I disagree with that... Not exactly a native Mandarin speaker (hence I'm learning here) but I speak Cantonese in my family and from my experience 不是 is normal. e.g. (Mandarin) 他不是美国人 - He is not American. "他不美国人" (without 是, using what I'm interpreting you're stating) sounds akin to something like "He not American".
