她

In real, traceable use. Part of the curated seed collection; community review is coming.
The pronoun for a female person already mentioned: she or her. 'Her' as in 'her book' is 她的. The plural 她们 is used only when everyone in the group is female; a mixed group is 他们. It sounds exactly like 他 'he', so in speech only the context tells them apart.
Đại từ ngôi thứ ba số ít chỉ nữ giới: cô ấy, chị ấy, bà ấy. “Của cô ấy” là 她的; số nhiều là 她们 khi cả nhóm đều là nữ, còn nhóm có cả nam thì viết 他们. Đọc giống hệt 他 (anh ấy) nên khi nghe phải dựa vào ngữ cảnh.
