او • (u)
- she, he, they (meaning the third-person singular, of unknown or irrelevant gender, but animate)
- Synonym: (colloquial) اون
- «او کُجَاسْت؟» «مَن نَمیدَانَم، اَمَّا مَن اورَا پیشْتَر دِیدَم»

Usage notes edit
- In many colloquial varieties or Persian, the terms آن (that, it) and او (he, she, they) have merged. In Iran this is typically realized as اون (un), in Afghanistan this is typically realized as اُو (ū).
- In both Iran and Afghanistan the plural of these terms has similarly combined in colloquial speech, which is typically realized as اونا in both regions.
- When the pronoun is acting as a grammatical object, it is combined with the direct-object particle را (râ) as او را (u râ, ô râ) or contracted into a single word as اورا (urâ, ôrâ)
- (Iran, colloquial) contracted to اونو (uno) when used with the direct-object particle را (râ).

- وی (vay, vey)
