Zamirler,  nesnelerin ve kavramların gerçek adları yerine geçici olarak kullanılan kelimelerdir.  Zamirlerin anlamları yoktur.  Bir zamir tek başına hiçbir nesneyi karşılamaz,  zihinde hiçbir nesne canlandırmaz,  hiçbir kavram düşündürmez.

Bu nedenle,  zamirlere isimlerin yerini tutan kelimelerdir diyebiliriz.
