- Closed [eu] sounds like 'deux' or, when open or spelled [œu], sounds like 'coeur'.
- An indirect object pronoun replaces the person, people or thing(s) that the verb action is done to.

Keywords
Indirect object pronoun - replaces the person, people or thing(s) that the verb action is done to, when the action is to me, for you, to them
Common misconception
There are separate indirect object pronouns in French to replace masculine and feminine nouns.
French indirect object pronouns make no distinction for gender (unlike direct object pronouns). Lui means both '(to) him' and '(to) her'. Leur means '(to) them' and can refer to both masculine and feminine nouns.
