Here's a breakdown:
* "Sie" is the formal pronoun for "you" in German.
* "Ihnen" is the dative case of "Sie."
The dative case is used for indirect objects in a sentence. It indicates who or what something is being done for or to.
Example:
* "Ich gebe Ihnen das Buch." (I give you the book.)
* "Das Geschenk ist Ihnen gewidmet." (The gift is dedicated to you.)
In essence, "Ihnen" refers to a group of people or a person being addressed formally.
