| word | theirs |
|---|---|
| definition | pronoun You use theirs to indicate that something belongs or relates to the group of people, animals, or things that you are talking about. There was a big group of a dozen people at the table next to theirs. It would cost about £3000 to install a new heating system in a flat such as theirs. Theirs had been a happy and satisfactory marriage. You use theirs instead of 'his or hers' to indicate that something belongs or relates to a person without saying whether that person is a man or a woman. If someone wanted it, it would be theirs for the taking. |
