Definitions and meaning of you
you
Etymology 1
From Middle Englishyou, yow, ȝow(object case of ye), from Old Englishēow(“you”, dative case of ġē), from Proto-Germanic*iwwiz(“you”, dative case of *jīz), Western form of *izwiz(“you”, dative case of *jūz), from Proto-Indo-European*yūs(“you”, plural), *yū́.
Cognate with Scotsyou(“you”), Saterland Frisianjou(“you”), West Frisianjo(“you”), Low Germanjo, joe and oe(“you”), Dutchjou and u(“you”), Middle High Germaneu, iu(“you”, object pronoun), Latinvōs(“you”), Avestan𐬬𐬋(vō, “you”), Ashkunyë̃́(“you”), Kamkata-virišó(“you”), Sanskritयूयम्(yūyám, “you”)
See usage notes. Ye, you and your are cognate with Dutchjij/je, jou, jouw; Low Germanji, jo/ju, jug and Germanihr, euch and euer respectively. Ye is also cognate with DanishI and archaic SwedishI.
Alternative forms
ye(archaic nominative, dialectal plural)

(General American, General Australian) enPR: yə, IPA(key): /jə/
Homophones: ewe, u, yew, yu, hew(in h-dropping dialects), hue (in h-dropping dialects)
When a word ending in /t/, /d/, /s/, or /z/ is followed by you, these may coalesce with the /j/, resulting in /tʃ/, /dʒ/, /ʃ/ and /ʒ/, respectively. This is occasionally represented in writing, e.g. gotcha (from gotyou) or whatcha doin'? (more formally what are you doing?).

Usage notes
Originally, you was specifically plural (indicating multiple people), and specifically the object form (serving as the object of a verb or preposition; like us as opposed to we). The subject pronoun was ye, and the corresponding singular pronouns were thee and thou, respectively. In some forms of (older) English, you and ye doubled as polite singular forms, e.g. used in addressing superiors, with thee and thou being the non-polite singular forms. In the 1600s, some writers objected to the use of "singular you" (compare objections to the singular they), but in modern English thee and thou are archaic and all but nonexistent and you is used for both the singular and the plural.
Several forms of English now distinguish singular you from various marked plural forms, such as you guys, y'all, you-uns, or youse, though not all of these are completely equivalent or considered Standard English.
The pronoun you is usually, but not always, omitted in imperative sentences. In affirmatives, it may be included before the verb (You go right ahead; You stay out of it); in negative imperatives, it may be included either before the don't, or (more commonly) after it (Don't you dare go in there; Don't you start now).
The pronoun you is also used in an indefinite sense: the generic you.
See Appendix:English parts of speech for other personal pronouns.
