How it's used

This pronoun is exclusively reserved for deities or divine beings in formal or religious writing. Using it for ordinary people is considered grammatically incorrect and highly inappropriate. It functions as a third person plural pronoun that emphasizes the divine nature of the subjects.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 佢哋, which is the standard pronoun for all people, animals, and objects. Using 祂們 for humans is a major error that sounds unnatural and overly dramatic.
