pronoun

they; them (masculine or mixed-gender group)

The default third-person plural pronoun in Chinese. It typically refers to a group of males or a mixed-gender group. For a group consisting only of females, use '她们'. In speech, '他们' can sometimes be used informally for a female-only group if the gender is unspecified or irrelevant. See also entry for '他'.
