[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lack a formal 2nd person plural in English. "Y'all" is, in my opinion, the best thing we have. I would never say "youse guys," how odd to even suggest it. -from the west coast [/quote] We have one. It's the word you.[/quote] That’s not a formal 2nd person plural, now is it? [/quote] English doesn't have formal pronouns anymore. Some languages, like German, still have them. In German, Sie is both the singular and plural formal you. In German you know the count from the verb, but that's not the case with English. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_pronouns https://www.germanwithantrim.com/du-vs-ihr-vs-sie-beginner-german-with-herr-antrim-lesson-4/[/quote]
