Definition
三者 is a formal pronoun referring to three previously mentioned people, things, or parties. It is commonly used in written or legal contexts, such as in comparisons, lists, or discussions of stakeholders. Unlike 三个 (which simply counts three items), 三者 emphasizes the three as a collective group in a structured or analytical context.
