what do u use for others in one word?

Question

themselves or theirselves and why?

Answer 1

If you want to be grammatically correct, it's "themselves" -"theirselves" isn't listed in my "Webster's New World Dictionary (Third College Edition)."

But it's listed at www.dictionary.com with a reference to this usage note:
"Our Living Language Speakers of some vernacular American dialects, particularly in the South, may use the possessive reflexive form hisself instead of himself (as in He cut hisself shaving) and theirselves or theirself for themselves (as in They found theirselves alone). These forms reflect the tendency of speakers of vernacular dialects to regularize irregular patterns found in the corresponding standard variety. In Standard English, the pattern of reflexive pronoun forms shows slightly irregular patterning; all forms but two are composed of the possessive form of the pronoun and -self or -selves, as in myself or ourselves. The exceptions are himself and themselves, which are formed by attaching the suffix -self/-selves to the object forms of he and they rather than their possessive forms. Speakers who use hisself and theirselves are smoothing out the pattern's inconsistencies by applying the same rule to all forms in the set. ·A further regularization is the use of -self regardless of number, yielding the forms ourself and theirself. Using a singular form in a plural context may seem imprecise, but the plural meaning of ourself and theirself is made clear by the presence of the plural forms our- and their-. Hisself and theirselves have origins in British English and are still prevalent today in vernacular speech in England."

Answer 2

Themselves is the word that is used to refer to people.

The word is a pronoun and can be either reflexive (Eg. The children gave themselves a round of applause) or can be emphatic (Eg. The children themselves completed the project).

There are more words that can be used when referring to others. Pronouns would include You (which can be used for a single person or a group), They, Them, Everyone, etc. Which word gets used depends on other factors of reference.
