Them is the people or things that we're talking about when we don't want to use a specific name.

When you're having a conversation with friends and you want to refer to something or someone without saying their actual names, "them" can come in handy. For instance, if you're planning a party and someone says, "I'm going to invite my neighbors," but doesn't mention who they are, it's like they're saying "I'm inviting them." You might even use "them" when talking about people from another country or culture that you don't know well.
