    Just hovering over the word "oni" produces the sound of crinkling plastic. It's actually somewhat beautiful.

        What's the difference between Oni and One?

          Both these words mean "they" but "oni" is for males and "one" is for females

            True, but 99 women and 1 man will still be "oni".

              Isn't "They have a bread." correct?

                Bread is uncountable, just like water. Loaves of bread, however, are countable.

                    I tried "the men have bread" and it was wrong, but Oni is meant to be used for men only, makes no sense since the plural of they(men) can also be The men

                      It's not "men only", it's "with at least one man". "Oni" may be a group of 99 women and 1 man.

                        Yes, but grammatically it corresponds to „they” not „men”.
