Remember to use proper capitalization and grammar when posting on the forum ;) Some people are learning English, and we don't want to confuse them. Gracias y bienvenido a SpanishDict. :D - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 25, 2011

Nothing that concerns you. Go back to sleep.

I debated with myself about the subject pronouns on this one. - webdunce, Jun 25, 2011
I still maintain that natives use the pronouns often and not just for emphasis. - 0074b507, Jun 25, 2011
Particularly usted, Q. I have seen that used a lot in movies. - webdunce, Jun 25, 2011

Not proper :) you are is you're - EL_MAG0, Jun 25, 2011
you're...it can be pronounced to rhyme with bore or with sure. I say it both ways. - webdunce, Jun 25, 2011
See my post about y'all, it's got links to wikipedia. - webdunce, Jun 25, 2011
Also, a small correction: it's "to mean" (not "to meant"). - webdunce, Jun 25, 2011
Yes. It can be found in most informal writing and is usually written as "you're". You can find an official link at: http://mw1.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/you're - territurtle, Jun 25, 2011
Supongo que a veces pueda verla escrito como "y're" si quieren mostrar que se pronunció en tal manera que se rimó con "sure" - webdunce, Jun 25, 2011
Pero con frecuencia es escrito como "yer" cuando quieren mostrar que se rima con "sure." - webdunce, Jun 25, 2011
looool! me voy a volver loco!! - fjfuentesh, Jun 26, 2011

"yall talkin"?

Actually it should be y'all talkin' (the apostrophes are supposed to be there) - webdunce, Jun 25, 2011
y'all is a contraction of you + all and is equal in meaning to ustedes. (Since our language forgot to officially give us separate pronouns for singular and plural you) - webdunce, Jun 25, 2011
talkin' = talking but is closer to how many English speakers actually pronounce the word in most circumstances. - webdunce, Jun 25, 2011
Bueno el traductor no traduce eso! - fjfuentesh, Jun 25, 2011
This is all considered non-standard English, but you will find that many native English speakers actually speak like this (including myself...it is very common in the Southeastern USA) - webdunce, Jun 25, 2011
Standard English uses you for both tú/usted and ustedes, but many regional variations of English have come up with a local plural form of you (you'ins, youns, yous, yous guys, you all, y'all) - webdunce, Jun 25, 2011
