This confuse us foreigners trying to use the English language even more than it must confuse regular english speakers.
Not only did you (you guys, y'all, plural you, whatever...) mix up ye with you, using only the object form, but also started using it for thou and thee. Also, it was thy/thine not yours in the singular form.
I suggest you "fix" your language by reintroducing these words, they (plural they) are not completely lost yet (ref: dialects and the Bible).

- card_zero 2y agoI'll give it a shot, but what about the grammatical singular agreement of the rest of the sentence? Should I leave my second-person verbs in the plural, as in you do, you have, or modify them, as in thou dost, thou hast? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-est#Middle_English https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-est#Middle_English I guess you're basically asking me to speak dialectical Yorkshire.
