When you're talking about more than one person, animal, or thing that's far away or you've already mentioned, you can use اونها (oon-hā). It means 'they' or 'them' in English. This is a very common and casual way to say it in Persian. You'll hear it all the time in everyday conversations. It's a great word to know!
When learning Persian, understanding pronouns is essential. اونها (oon-hā) is an informal, B1-level pronoun for "they" or "them."
You'll hear it frequently in everyday conversations, replacing the more formal آنها (ān-hā).
It refers to a group of people, animals, or objects that are either distant from the speaker or have already been mentioned.
Mastering this pronoun will significantly improve your conversational fluency.
«اونها» is a third-person plural pronoun in Persian, commonly used in informal, everyday conversations. It functions as a direct substitute for the more formal «آنها».
This pronoun refers to a group of people, animals, or objects that are either distant from the speaker or have been previously mentioned in the conversation. Its usage reflects a relaxed and familiar tone, typical of spoken Persian.
While «آنها» is grammatically correct and always acceptable, «اونها» is generally preferred in casual settings, making your speech sound more natural and fluent. Understanding when to use «اونها» versus «آنها» is key to navigating the nuances of Persian formality levels.
When we talk about people, animals, or things that are far away or have already been mentioned, we use a special word. In formal Persian, this word is «آنها». However, in everyday chats, especially with friends and family, most people say «اونها» instead. It's like saying "them" or "those" in English. So, you'll hear «اونها» a lot in daily conversations, but you'll see «آنها» more in books and formal writing.
In Persian, especially in everyday conversations, you'll hear and use "اونها" (ounhâ) a lot. It's the casual way to say "them" or "those." It’s the third-person plural pronoun, which means it refers to more than one person, animal, or thing that isn't you or me. Think of it as the informal version of "آنها" (ânhâ).

Definition
The third-person plural pronoun in Persian, used in daily and informal conversations instead of «آنها» (ânhâ). This word refers to a group of people, animals, or objects that are far from the speaker or have been previously mentioned.
§ How to Use "اونها" (ounhâ)
"اونها" (ounhâ) is your go-to word when you're talking about multiple people or things in a casual setting. It's versatile and can be used for both animate and inanimate objects.
اونها دانشجو هستن.
*They are students.* (Referring to a group of people)
کتابها روی میز هستن. اونها رو بردار.
*The books are on the table. Pick them up.* (Referring to objects)
پرندهها خیلی زیبا هستن. دوست دارم اونها رو ببینم.
*The birds are very beautiful. I like to see them.* (Referring to animals)
§ "اونها" vs. "آنها": The Difference
This is where it gets important. While both "اونها" (ounhâ) and "آنها" (ânhâ) mean "them" or "those," their usage depends entirely on the context and formality.
اونها (ounhâ): This is the informal, spoken, everyday version. You use it with friends, family, in casual conversations, and pretty much everywhere when you're speaking. It's the more natural choice for most situations.
آنها (ânhâ): This is the formal, written, and more classic version. You'll see it in books, formal speeches, news reports, and official documents. While it's grammatically correct to use in speech, it can sound a bit stiff or overly formal if you're just chatting with someone.
§ Other Related Words and When to Use Them
While "اونها" (ounhâ) is about "them" or "those" specifically, it's good to know other related pronouns to understand the full picture:
اینها (inhâ): This means "these" (informal). It refers to a group of people or things that are close to the speaker. For example:
اینها دوستای من هستن.
*These are my friends.*
اون (oun): This means "he/she/it/that" (informal, singular). It refers to a single person or thing far from the speaker. For example:
اون خونهست.
*That's a house.*
این (in): This means "he/she/it/this" (informal, singular). It refers to a single person or thing close to the speaker. For example:
این کتاب منه.
*This is my book.*
ایشان (ishân): This is a very formal and polite way to say "he/she/they." It's often used when referring to someone with respect, especially if you don't want to specify gender or when speaking about someone in a highly formal context. It can be singular or plural, depending on context, but always implies high respect. For example:
آقای دکتر امروز تشریف آوردن. ایشان جلسه دارن.
*Dr. [Surname] arrived today. He/She has a meeting.* (Formal and respectful)
§ Key Takeaway: Speak Naturally with "اونها"
For most of your daily interactions in Persian, "اونها" (ounhâ) is the word you'll want to use for "them" or "those." It makes your speech sound natural and fluent. While it's good to recognize "آنها" (ânhâ) in written materials, focus on mastering "اونها" (ounhâ) for your conversations. Keep practicing, and you'll be using it like a native speaker in no time!

اونهاvsآنها (ānhā)
Both 'اونها' (ounhā) and 'آنها' (ānhā) mean 'they' or 'them' in Persian. However, their usage differs based on formality.
'آنها' (ānhā) is the formal and written form, while 'اونها' (ounhā) is the informal, spoken form.
آنها به مدرسه رفتند. (ānhā be madrese raftand) - They went to school. (Formal)
اونهاvsاینها (inhā)
Similar in structure and function, 'اینها' (inhā) means 'these' while 'اونها' (ounhā) means 'those' or 'they/them'. The confusion arises from referring to groups of things.
'اینها' refers to a group of people or things close to the speaker, while 'اونها' refers to a group further away.
اینها دوستان من هستند. (inhā dustān-e man hastand) - These are my friends. (Referring to friends nearby)
اونهاvsاو (u)
'او' (u) means 'he/she/it' (singular third-person pronoun), which can be confused with 'اونها' (ounhā) meaning 'they/them' (plural third-person pronoun) if the singular/plural distinction is not clear.
'او' is for a single person/thing, 'اونها' is for multiple people/things.
او تنهاست. (u tanhās-t) - He/She is alone.
اونهاvsآن (ān)
'آن' (ān) means 'that' (singular distant demonstrative pronoun), which is the singular counterpart to 'آنها' (ānhā) (formal plural). The informal 'اون' (oun) is the singular counterpart to 'اونها'.
'آن' is for a single distant thing, 'اونها' is for multiple distant things or people.
آن درخت بزرگ است. (ān derakht bozorg ast) - That tree is big.
اونهاvsآنها (ānhā) vs. ایشان (ishān)
Both can refer to 'they' or 'them', but 'ایشان' carries a higher level of respect and formality, often used when referring to elders or respected figures.
'آنها' is generally formal plural, while 'ایشان' is very formal and honorific, often used as a singular respectful pronoun as well.
ایشان استاد من هستند. (ishān ostād-e man hastand) - They are my professor. (Referring to one highly respected professor)

よくある質問
10 問
'اونها' is the colloquial and informal version of 'آنها'. Both mean 'they' or 'them', but 'اونها' is what you'll hear in everyday conversation, while 'آنها' is more formal and used in writing or formal speech.
Yes, absolutely! 'اونها' can refer to groups of people, animals, or objects. It's very versatile.
No, Persian pronouns, including 'اونها', do not change based on gender. This makes it a bit easier than some other languages!
'او' means 'he' or 'she' (singular), while 'اونها' means 'they' or 'them' (plural). So, use 'اونها' when you're talking about more than one person or thing.
It generally refers to people or things that are distant from the speaker, or have already been mentioned. Think of it as the opposite of 'we' or 'you (plural)' in terms of proximity.
A common mistake is using 'آنها' in casual conversation when 'اونها' would be more natural. Stick to 'اونها' for everyday speaking to sound more fluent.
It's pronounced something like 'oon-haa'. The 'oo' sound is like 'moon', and 'haa' is like 'ha' in 'hat' but with a longer 'a' sound.
Yes, 'اونها' can function as both the subject (e.g., اونها رفتن - They went) and the object (e.g., من اونها رو دیدم - I saw them) in a sentence.
Yes, people will definitely understand you. It will just sound a bit more formal than necessary for a casual chat. It's not a major error, just something to refine for natural speech.
Yes, for example, 'اینها' (these/they - close by) becomes 'اینا' colloquially, and 'ما' (we) often stays the same, but you'll hear other pronoun changes as you learn more. 'اونها' is a great start for colloquial plural pronouns.
