You

 What is "You"?

"You" is the second personal pronoun (see PERSONAL PRONOUN).

"You" refers to one hearer (singular) or hearers (plural: more than one person).

A special use of "You" is that it's used in the same form both in singular and plural. Furthermore, it has the same form when used as subject and object pronouns and can be used for both male and female. For example:

1. As a subject: 
• A. You are a beautiful girl. [female (singular)]
• B. You are a smart man. [male (singular)]
• C. You are my students. ["You" here refers to both male and female (plural).]



Note: For "are" here is a linking verb. See Auxiliary Verbs and Linking Verbs; for "a" here is a determiner. See "A or An" and "Determiner"; for "beautiful girl and smart man" here are subject complements. See "Complement".

2. As an object:
• Singular: I love you. [If the speaker, aka the first person personal pronoun "I", is a man (male), then "you" here refers to a woman (female); if the speaker is a woman, then "you" here refers to a man. It refers to a single person (means only one).]
• Plural: I want you two guys help me lift this table.
