ellos

Masculine third-person plural

Ellos is Spanish for "they," referring specifically to males or mixed groups.

Like other Spanish pronouns, it marks gender—ellas is the feminine equivalent.

English speakers encounter ellos in Spanish classes, bilingual contexts, or the common phrase entre ellos (among them).

The word follows Spanish grammar where masculine forms serve as default for mixed groups.
