Overview
The Azerbaijani word 'onlar' is a personal pronoun, specifically the third-person plural pronoun. It translates directly to 'they' in English. This pronoun is used to refer to multiple people or things that are not the speaker or the person being spoken to. In Azerbaijani, pronouns are crucial for indicating the subject or object of a verb and for maintaining grammatical coherence within sentences.
Unlike some European languages, Azerbaijani pronouns do not inherently carry gender information. Therefore, 'onlar' can refer to a group of males, a group of females, a mixed group of males and females, or a group of inanimate objects or animals. The specific gender or nature of the referents is inferred from the broader context of the conversation or text.
When 'onlar' acts as the subject of a sentence, it often precedes the verb. Azerbaijani verbs conjugate to agree with their subjects in terms of person and number. For the third-person plural, verbs typically take a specific ending, which often involves '-lar' or '-lər' (harmonizing with the last vowel of the verb stem) or other specific plural markers depending on the verb tense and mood.
For example:
- 'Onlar gəlirlər.' (They are coming.) - Here, 'gəlirlər' (are coming) agrees with 'onlar'.
- 'Onlar oxudular.' (They read.) - Here, 'oxudular' (read) agrees with 'onlar'.
'Onlar' can also function as the object of a verb or preposition. When used as an object, it can sometimes take case endings to indicate its grammatical role. However, in many informal contexts, the uninflected form might be used, relying on word order for clarity.
Examples of 'onlar' with case endings (though less common in simple direct object scenarios without prepositions, as direct objects often don't take a specific ending unless definite):
- Possessive: 'onların' (their, of them)
* Ablative: 'onlardan' (from them)
Understanding 'onlar' is fundamental for constructing grammatically correct and natural-sounding sentences in Azerbaijani, as it is a high-frequency word used in everyday communication to refer to multiple entities.

'Onlar' is the third-person plural pronoun in Azerbaijani, directly translating to 'they'. It is used to refer to two or more people or things that are not the speaker or the listener. Unlike some other languages, Azerbaijani does not have a formal/informal distinction for 'they' based on the level of respect, as the politeness is conveyed through other linguistic elements like verb conjugations or honorifics if needed. For example, 'Onlar gəldilər' means 'They came.' When 'onlar' is used with a noun, the noun typically remains in its singular form, and the plurality is indicated by the pronoun itself and the verb conjugation. For instance, 'onlar tələbə' (they student) implies 'they are students,' with the verb 'are' being understood or implied. If the noun were to be pluralized as well ('tələbələr' - students), it would be redundant unless for specific emphasis, though grammatically possible. 'Onlar' can also be used as a possessive pronoun with the addition of suffixes, for example, 'onların' (theirs/of them).

文化的な背景
In Azerbaijani culture, respect for elders and those in positions of authority is paramount. When referring to a group of people that includes elders or respected individuals, even if the group primarily consists of younger people, it is common to use 'onlar' (they) in a respectful manner. This reflects a broader cultural emphasis on politeness and deference. Additionally, collective identity is often highlighted; therefore, when speaking about a group, 'onlar' can carry a sense of unity and shared purpose. In formal settings or when addressing an unfamiliar group, the use of 'onlar' maintains a polite distance, adhering to cultural norms of respectful interaction. The concept of 'birlik' (togetherness) is deeply embedded, and using 'onlar' to refer to a collective often implicitly acknowledges this communal aspect. However, if the group is intimately known and all members are peers, a more informal construction might be used in casual conversation, though 'onlar' remains grammatically correct and widely accepted.
