== Translingual == === Symbol === oni (international standards) ISO 639-3 language code for Onin. === See also === Wiktionary’s coverage of Onin terms == English == === Etymology === From Japanese 鬼 (oni). === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈəʊni/ (General American) IPA(key): /ˈoʊni/ Rhymes: -əʊni === Noun === oni (plural onis or oni) A Japanese evil spirit or demon. === Anagrams === NOI, ion, Ino, Ion, -ion, NIO, -ino == Czech == === Etymology === Inherited from Old Czech oni, from Proto-Slavic *oni, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂énos. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈoɲɪ] === Pronoun === oni m anim pl they (third person personal masculine animate plural) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== === Pronoun === oni nominative animate masculine plural of onen == Dupaningan Agta == === Interjection === oni yes == Esperanto == === Etymology === Borrowed from French on and Occitan òm, ultimately from Latin homō (“human being; man”). English one is not etymologically related to on, but its use as an indefinite personal pronoun was influenced by French. Doublet of homo. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈoni/ Rhymes: -oni Syllabification: o‧ni === Pronoun === oni (accusative onin, possessive onia) (indefinite personal pronoun) one Oni povas vidi ĝin. ― One can see it. (indefinite pronoun, vague meaning) they (some people, people in general) Oni diras, ke Norvegio estas bonega loko por loĝi. ― They say Norway is a great place to live. ==== Usage notes ==== Comparable to the use of generic "you" in English (e.g. In America, you can do what you want). A sentence whose subject is "oni" can often be translated as an English sentence in the passive voice, for example: "Oni ofte referencas al Kimrio kiel la 'lando de la kanto.'" can be translated as "Wales is often referred to as the 'land of song.'" Although the accusative onin and the possessive onia are possible, they are far less frequent than oni itself. Correlatives such as iun (“someone (accusative)”) or ies (“someone's”) are often more natural in contexts where onin or onia might make sense: "one's mother tongue" will usually be rendered ies gepatra lingvo rather than onia gepatra lingvo, though the latter would still be correct. Note that where the subject of a clause is oni, anything that oni possesses in that clause will take the reflexive possessive sia, not onia: Oni plej nature pensas en sia gepatra lingvo (one thinks most naturally in one's mother tongue). ==== Descendants ==== → Ido: onu === See also === === References === === Further reading === “oni”, in Plena Ilustrita Vortaro de Esperanto [Complete Illustrated Dictionary of Esperanto], 2020, →ISBN “oni”, in Reta Vortaro [Online Dictionary] (in Esperanto), 1997-2026 Wells, John C.
