Do you like this song? I think it's beautiful.

In Turkish, o is the third-person singular pronoun for inanimate objects and animals. Unlike English, Turkish often omits the pronoun when the context is clear, so 'it is beautiful' can simply be 'güzel' instead of 'o güzel'. Pay attention to case marking: accusative onu (it as object), locative onda (in it), ablative ondan (from it).
