What's the difference between the pronouns "de", "den" and "det"?
I was trying to understand their exact meaning but I need some more help.

1) So, "de" means "they" and it's used while talking about people? E.g.:
De (Åke och Pia) har många böcker.

2) "Den" means also "they". I found this example here:
Den (Affären) har många kunder.
So, does it mean that I should use the pronoun "den" if I mean people in the collective meaning like "they in the company"?

3) What about "det"?

2) "Den" means also "they". I found this example here:

3) What about "det"?

Answer

"De" means 'they' as mentioned.
"Den and det" on the other hand means 'it' and are used depending on if the noun is a "en" or "ett" word.
"Dem" means 'them', but can often also be used as 'they'.

Examples:
De är hemma = They are at home.
Den här saken är min. = This thing is mine.
Det är snart jul. = It's soon Christmas.
Kan du hämta dem? = Can you pick them up?

Answer

you use the pronoun "den" when referring to a word with the "en" article and "det" when it has an "ett" article.
