In southern and eastern dialects, on the other hand, on may have been inherited from the Old High German variant unde (unti). From these two groups of dialects, the form will have spread, without doubt under influence of German und.

[edit]Inherited from Old French hom, om (nominative form), from Latin homō (“human being”) (compare homme from the Old French oblique form home, from the Latin accusative form hominem). Its pronominal use is of Germanic origin. Compare Old English man (“one, they, people”), reduced form of Old English mann (“person”); Catalan hom; German man (“one, they, people”); Dutch men (“one, they, people”). In the second sense, meaning "we", also compare the development Malay kita orang (“we (incl.) + person”) and also dialectal kitorang, kitong, torang.
Pronunciation
[edit]Pronoun
[edit]on
- (indefinite) one, people, you, someone (an unspecified individual)
- 2003, Natasha St. Pier, L’instant d’après (album), Quand on cherche l’amour (song)
- Quand on cherche l’amour…
- When one searches for love…
- On ne peut pas pêcher ici ― You can’t fish here
- 2003, Natasha St. Pier, L’instant d’après (album), Quand on cherche l’amour (song)

- 2021, Zaz, Tout là-haut:
- On oublie nos certitudes
- We forget our certainties
- On s’est amusés. ― We had fun.
Usage notes
[edit]- In informal and standard conversational French, on has almost completely replaced the pronoun nous (“we”) to indicate that a sentence or clause has a first-person plural as its subject. However, nous is still favored in formal writing and speech, and is still used colloquially as a disjunctive reinforcing nominative on, as well as to indicate direct and indirect objects. It may be used for reflexive objects, but as this is potentially ambiguous, these are also indicated with the reflexive pronoun se — especially with reinforcement from disjunctive nous, which clarifies that the speaker means "we" and not "one," i.e. a generalized indefinite subject. This clarification can also be achieved by the use of tous.
- On est toujours là. ― We're still here.
- Nous, on s’y fait. ― We get used to it.
- On connait tous la chanson qu’elle chante. ― We all know which song she is singing.
- Nous, on l’a tous vu. ― We all saw it.
- The verb is always conjugated in the third-person singular, but if the pronoun refers to a first-person plural, the attribute agrees in gender and number.
- On est venu ici. ― One came here.
- On y est allés / allées. ― We went there.
- On est prêts / prêtes. ― We are ready.
- The variant l’on is used in more formal or literary contexts. Some use it especially after que (que l'on) to avoid the contraction qu’on, which is homophonous with the vulgar word con.
