Hindi informal plural

I'm pretty sure that the informal Hindi plural is tum rather than aap. Aside from that, plural informal tum and formal aap often get -log added to distinguish from singular forms, thus the Hindi paradigm would look like this: very informal singular: tū informal singular: tum formal singular: āp informal plural: tum(log) formal plural: āp(log) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.157.44.34 (talk • contribs) 11:43, 29 March 2006

Catalan

There's some controversy regarding vostè/vostès, despite its widespread usage. Being a calque from Spanish, many consider it doesn't belong at all into Catalan. Also, vostè is more common in bigger, industrialised settlemens, with larger immigrated population, while vós is prevalent in the countryside, which would seem to support the notion that vós is the proper, original Catalan usage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.33.197.99 (talk • contribs) 12:00, 30 March 2007

Old English ye or þe?

Isn't ye a misspelling of þe? Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 13:43, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It refers to the "Old English and Early Middle English" forms of the 2nd person plural nominative pronoun. This was "ge" in Old English, but "ye" in Middle English. The spelling þe refers to the 2nd person singular object pronoun. AnonMoos (talk) 02:37, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
