Combining Subjects

Question

I want to know of there is any way you make any nouns like 'you-guys' or 'you-all.'

Like: You guys need to eat something.

Or: How have you all been?

thanks!

Answer 1

You all has an equivalent in Spanish. It is ustedes.

Its verb form is the third person plural conjugation (same conjugation as ellos/ellas)

I know about ustedes, but how about something like "You soldiers had better watch your backs!"? - Himself12794, Jan 20, 2012

usted, soldados,... just like in English it should be You, soldiers, ....you is not an adjective. - 0074b507, Jan 20, 2012

so it's just something that's done in English that's actually just bad grammar? - Himself12794, Jan 20, 2012
