      @mushi Slavic languages keep that pretty well. (all european languages do that to an extent)

        @awlderpy there isnt much a reason to not have a plural you

          @mushi Actually a good few languages have it. English did at one point too, thou and you.

            @awlderpy but that is real dumb >_>.a weird thing in portuguese is that Você (you) is not a person of the speech, and in old portugese the word for it was "vossa mercê" (a fancy way to say "your mercy")

              @mushi That's pretty neat, actually! (thinks of studying portugese)

                  @mushi It'd be nice to challenge myself in such a way. See if I still have what it takes to formulate thoughts in other tongues.

                    @awlderpy oh, another dumb thing about portugese is that it uses the ç letter, but refuse to put it in the alphabet

                      @mushi The ç is basically the same as the S anyway.

                      @mushi Catalan does the same thing, mostly because Spanish doesn't use it.

              @mushi Spanish has tu/vos/usted for singular and ustedes/vosotros for plural
