you all / you plural
Example sentences
¿Ustedes viven aquí?

How to use it
Ustedes means plural 'you' / 'you all'. In Latin America it is the normal plural you. In Spain it is also understood and used formally; informal Spain often uses vosotros/vosotras.
Common mistake
Teach ustedes as the default useful plural you, but keep the regional note visible: vosotros/vosotras is an informal Spain-specific form to recognise later, not a blocker for A1 launch content.
