how many ways are there to say "you" in your language?

if I'm not missing any, in spanish there's 5
3 singular and 2 plural yous.

you can tell us about the different "weird" pronouns of your language in general, I think the germans have a couple of pronouns that we don't have for example.
>>
je (informal)
jij (informal, slightly accusatory)
u (polite)
jou (informal, very situational)

Plural:
jullie
u

In Belgium they also have

ge
gij
>>
ty, ci, ciebie, cię, tobą, tobie, wam, wami, was, wy

Like one. You. It's singular, plural, formal, informal, whatever you want it to be.
>>
>singular
du (nominative)
dir (dative)
dich (accusative)

>plural
ihr (nominative)
euch (this is both the dative and accusative form)

>formal, both singular and plural
Sie (this is both the nominative and accusative form)
Ihnen (dative)

For those few meme words that actually take a genitive object, you could also count:
deiner
eurer
Ihrer
>>
(Tú)
>>

Y'all is plural you uncultured Northern fuck

German pronouns are not much more difficult than Spanish ones imo. The difference between du/dir/dich is similar to the difference between tú/te. The similarity is even more obvious in third person: er/ihm/ihn = él/le/lo
I counted stuff like this, too, because their English translation is "you", most of the times.

If you're OP, I'm not quite sure whether we have pronouns that you don't, I'm not aware of any

AFAIK there is, or better said WAS, a difference between You (usted) and Thou (tú o vos)
now people use you all the time

buen post

>>72059931
Today there is just you.

Back in the good old days "thee" and "thou" were informal singular while "ye" and "you" were formal singular or plural.
>>
>>72059931
There are only two ways to say "you" here, we never were into that "my lord" thing.

>informal singular
ty (nominative)
tebia/tia (genitive, accusative)
tebe/te (dative, locative)
toboj (instrumentalis)

>plural and formal singular
vy (nominative)
vas (genitive, accusative, locative)
vam (dative)
vami (instrumentalis)
