Ye (pronoun)

Ye (/jiː/ ⓘ, unstressed /jɪ/ or /jə/) is a second-person, plural, personal pronoun (nominative), spelled in Old English as "ge". In Middle English and Early Modern English, it was used as a both informal second-person plural and formal honorific, to address a group of equals or superiors or a single superior. While its use is archaic in most of the English-speaking world, it is used in Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada and in some parts of Ireland, to distinguish from the singular "you". It is also a typical singular and plural form of you in Scots.
