Usage notes

 * The article (in all forms) connects to the following word with a hyphen:

 * Before an initial vowel, including before the vocalic letters and, the  of the article is always dropped. This does not happen before  , however:
 * ; ; but:.

 * Before an initial consonant cluster beginning with a nasal or liquid, i.e. the letters, , , + another consonant, an  is prefixed to the word and the article thus becomes :

 * The same also usually happens before an initial, , + an obstruent, i.e. a consonant other than , , , , , . This rule is somewhat similar to the Italian impure s, but it is applied with variation:
 * ; — less often also:.

 * Otherwise, before coronal consonants except, the of the article is generally assimilated. This means that before the letters , , , , , , , , , the article will have the according forms , , , , , , , , :
 * ; ; but:.

 * Apart from and the cases where an  is prefixed, there is another exception to this assimilation, namely that ad-hoc nominalisations of particles and the like are usually not assimilated:

 * In the context of a sentence, the of the article is not only dropped when the following word begins with a vowel, but also when the preceding word ends with a vowel:

 * Hence, even the assimilated forms of the article can be reduced to, , , , , , , , :

 * In the same case, the article is spelt as one word with the prepositions, , , , , , and :

Noun

 * 1) Hun

Etymology
From, from , the feminine form, with u-umlaut, of (= 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬).

Pronoun

 * 1)  she

Noun

 * 1) female, she

Etymology 1
Originally a mere spelling variant of.

Possessive hun started replacing from the 15th century, first only for masculine and neuter plural.

Pronoun

 * 1) The dative case of the third-person plural personal pronoun: them, to them.
 * 2)  The accusative case of the third-person plural personal pronoun: them.

Usage notes
The difference between hen (as direct object) and hun (as indirect object) does not stem from actual language usage, but was created artificially by the prescriptive grammarian Christiaen van Heule in the 17th century in an attempt to differentiate between the accusative (direct object) and dative case (indirect object), a distinction that was then commonly made in the definite article and certain pronouns, but not the personal pronouns.

In practice, hen and hun have been used interchangeably in Modern Dutch since the language has lost its grammatical case system. Many native speakers are not aware or have trouble remembering when to use one over the other, in part because of the rule's artificiality, in part because the distinction in form between the accusative and dative case has not been preserved anywhere else in the language. As a consequence, it is common to hear sentences where they are used in the exactly opposite way from van Heule's rule; for example:
 * Hij heeft hun verraden. (“He has betrayed them.”)
 * Ze zijn met hun uitgegaan. (“They have gone out with them.”)
 * Ik heb het hen gegeven. (“I have given it to them.”)

When the pronoun is unstressed, the problem can be circumvented by using the reduced form ze:
 * Hij heeft ze verraden.
 * Ze zijn met ze uitgegaan.
 * Ik heb het ze gegeven.

For more information, see the article in the Dutch Wikipedia.

Pronoun
(independent possessive hunne)

 * 1) The third-person plural possessive pronoun: their.

Etymology 2
Likely a replacement of or based on dialectal Dutch or a variant thereof, which is a contraction of ' or ', a compound of hun ("them") + lieden or lui (both meaning "men, people"), which then translates roughly into "them-people". Possibly reinfluenced by or confused with the possessive hun. This etymology explains why usage of hun occurs only when referring to people, never to objects. It's similar to dialectal often used colloquially in the Belgian province of Antwerp, which is a contraction of ze ("they") + hun ("them"), and which is also only used for people. Also compare 🇨🇬, which also stems from, but is now used also for things. For more information, see the article in the Dutch Wikipedia.

Pronoun

 * 1)  The nominative case of the third-person plural personal pronoun: they (only referring to people).

Usage notes

 * The use of hun as a subject is considered incorrect or substandard by most speakers, both in written and spoken language, and only occurs in the Netherlands.
 * For a 3rd person plural pronoun referring to people only, or  can be used instead.

The term can be used as a stand-alone word, but usually takes the form of an enclitic, that is, it is suffixed to the preceding word as /  or  /. Which form is used depends on the affixed word's dominant vowel, and whether the word ends in a vowel or a consonant.
 * -le — with a dominant front-vowel (i, e, ü, ö) and a consonant ending
 * -yle — with a dominant front-vowel (i, e, ü, ö) and a vowel ending
 * -la — with a dominant back-vowel (ı, a, u, o) and a consonant ending
 * -yla — with a dominant back-vowel (ı, a, u, o) and a vowel ending
 * -la — with a dominant back-vowel (ı, a, u, o) and a consonant ending
 * -yla — with a dominant back-vowel (ı, a, u, o) and a vowel ending
 * -la — with a dominant back-vowel (ı, a, u, o) and a consonant ending
 * -yla — with a dominant back-vowel (ı, a, u, o) and a vowel ending
 * -yla — with a dominant back-vowel (ı, a, u, o) and a vowel ending
 * -yla — with a dominant back-vowel (ı, a, u, o) and a vowel ending
 * -yla — with a dominant back-vowel (ı, a, u, o) and a vowel ending

An apostrophe is required when suffixed to a proper noun:
 * Şebnem'le
 * Ali'yle
 * Barış'la
 * Beyza'yla

Generally, the stress in a Turkish word goes to the last syllable, but, when used as an enclitic, (y)le / (y)la is unstressed and leaves the stress of the preceding word to which it is suffixed unchanged.

In a curious exception to vowel harmony, the suffix -yla raises a preceding back vowel ı to a front vowel i. For example, the word (“consequently”, “therefore”) is pronounced.

The dual role of the term can occasionally result in an ambiguity. The saying, literally “to hit two birds with one stone”, can (theoretically) also mean “to hit one stone and two birds”.

Usage notes

 * , and  are all characters that have been popular in representing the checked and labiodentalized series of negators, generally pronounced as /fəʔ/, /vəʔ/ or both depending on the exact variety. In historical literature, the exact choice of character varied between the topolects and the preferences of individual writers.
 * In some contemporary proposals aiming to standardize cross-topolectal writing in Wu, it is preferred that the voiced variants of the negator be written with and the unvoiced variants of the negator with . This is often received somewhat inconsistently, however, and the choice between the variant characters remains largely a matter of personal preference.

Usage notes

 * Mandarin speakers have a strong tendency to avoid monosyllabic terms. In order to satisfy this restriction, 很 is added before monosyllabic adjectives without any actual meaning. Similarly, Chinese people with monosyllabic first names will usually be addressed by their full name, even by their parents.
 * Such usage of 很 is not uncommon before other adjectives as well, to the point where forming a sentence without 很 may be perceived as very unnatural. Additionally, using an adjective as a predicate without 很 might carry notions of a comparative statement, e.g. '我好' could be interpreted as 'I am good [unlike some other person that was mentioned]'.

 * 嘥 𢟎 𢳜 漇 𣘊 褷 縰 蹝 屣 㿅 蓰 簁

Glyph origin
During the Zhou dynasty, 徙 was represented with the phonetic borrowing, with the components 辵 and 止 later being added to differentiate the character used to represent "migration". During the Warring States period, the earlier forms of 屎 consisting of or  components (as seen in  and ) had these portions transform into, however 徙 continued to retain the 少 form. The Chu script form of 屎 corrupted into a form with the ("body") component becoming  ("tail"), while the Qin script form of 徙 omitted the 尸 component of 屎 and left only  remaining. Li Shoukui (2015) however argues that the Chu script ⿸尾少 may not actually be cognate to ⿸尸少 (and ergo 屎). The clerical script form inherited the Qin script form, however had the 少 component mutate into another 止, which coincidentally resulted in the clerical form matching the same character structure as (the Shang dynasty form of ) with an additional 彳 component.

Shuowen Jiezi erroneously takes this mutated clerical script form of 徙 with two 止 components, and claims that it is a. It also omits one of the 止 components to create an alternative form, however no such character exists in ancient writing (although coincidentally it has a similar shape to the Shang and Zhou ). Hu Houxuan (1981) states that the "ancient script" form of 徙 in Shuowen,, comes from a corruption of the variant form featuring 尾 in place of 尸, but with the tail portion misrepresented as. For this reason, the "ancient script" forms of 徙 provided in Shuowen are extremely corrupted.

Li Jiahao (2010) notes that the ancient form of 屎, namely ⿸尸少, may potentially suggest that 徙 is a.
