Language Lesson

A note on my use of language.

Y'all - Another form of the word 'You'. It is a contraction of 'You All'. Other variation involves the use of the term Youze(sp).

Are y'all going out with him tonight? (translation: 'Are you going out with him tonight?')

All Y'all - Is the plural form of Y'all. It refers to a group of people. Other variation involves the term Youze Guys.

All y'all come on down here. (translation: 'You, that large group up there, come here')

This ends the public service announcement.
