you all

Plural second person

You all is a pronoun addressing multiple people, the plural of you.

Standard English lacks a distinct second-person plural, so speakers fill the gap: You all are welcome to stay.

The phrase is neutral and widespread, though the Southern contraction y'all dominates casual speech.

I want to thank you all for coming.
