Yes but "it" in polish is specifically belonging to the neutral gender. There's a bit more nuance there if you add context of sentence but it's pretty much build in. Polish equivalent of "they" or "them" is specifically 3rd person plural and cannot be used in singular and in 2nd person.

AFAIK English's they or them is supposed to be plural only, but we butchered that a long time ago.
