*** Etymology 1
Originally a mere spelling variant of [nl].[1]
Possessive _hun_ started replacing [nl] from the 15th century, first only for
masculine and neuter plural.
**** Pronoun
[nl]
1. [dative case of the third-person plural personal pronoun] : them , to them
2. [nl] [accusative case of the third-person plural personal pronoun] : them
***** Usage notes
The difference between _hen_ (as direct object) and _hun_ (as indirect object)
does not stem from actual language usage, but was created artificially by the
prescriptive grammarian Christiaen van Heule in the 17th century in an attempt
to differentiate between the accusative (direct object) and dative case
(indirect object), a distinction that was then commonly made in the definite
article and certain pronouns, but not the personal pronouns.
In practice, _hen_ and _hun_ have been used interchangeably in Modern Dutch
since the language has lost its grammatical case system. Many native speakers
are not aware or have trouble remembering when to use one over the other, in
part because of the rule's artificiality, in part because the distinction in
form between the accusative and dative case has not been preserved anywhere
else in the language. As a consequence, it is common to hear sentences where
they are used in the exactly opposite way from van Heule's rule; for example:
- _Hij heeft HUN verraden._ (“He has betrayed THEM .”)
- _Ze zijn met HUN uitgegaan._ (“They have gone out with THEM .”)
- _Ik heb het HEN gegeven._ (“I have given it TO THEM .”)
When the pronoun is unstressed, the problem can be circumvented by using the
reduced form _ze_:
- _Hij heeft ZE verraden._
- _Ze zijn met ZE uitgegaan._
- _Ik heb het ZE gegeven._

*** Etymology 2
Likely a replacement of or based on dialectal Dutch [nl] or a variant thereof,
which is a contraction of _[nl]_ or _[nl]_, a compound of _hun_ ("them") +
_lieden_ or _lui_ (both meaning "men, people"), which then translates roughly
into "them-people". Possibly reinfluenced by or confused with the possessive
_hun_. This etymology explains why usage of _hun_ occurs only when referring
to people, never to objects. It's similar to dialectal [nl] often used
colloquially in the Belgian province of Antwerp, which is a contraction of
_ze_ ("they") + _hun_ ("them"), and which is also only used for people. Also
compare [af], which also stems from [nl], but is now used also for things.
For more information, see 吴语: nl:Hun als onderwerp.
**** Pronoun
[nl]
1. [nl] _The nominative case of the third-person plural personal pronoun:_ they (only referring to people)
***** Usage notes
- The use of _hun_ as a subject is considered incorrect or substandard by most speakers, both in written and spoken language, and only occurs in the Netherlands.
- For a 3rd person plural pronoun referring to people only, [nl] or [nl] can be used instead.
