Vosotros agrees.
Ustedes if you're less formal or you live outside Spain ๐
What a fun way to phrase that. You're not wrong but it's making me giggle.
Or in German: euch
I'm under the impression that you pronounce it the same way this cat looks.
You know... that's about right.

I still wonder why English (a Germanic language) doesn't have its own pronoun for the plural 2nd person like German (euch) or Dutch (jullie), I think it kinda helps with distinction between talking to one person and talking to multiple people.
The problem is... what pronoun should we choose? I think "yinz" would sound kinda cool, but nobody outside of a very specific spot in the US actually uses it (other than myself I guess).
