    Lots of other languages have a dedicated word for second person plural, but English only has dialects that do.

      You can be used plurally. Ye used to be commonly used as a second person plural but now sounds old fashioned because it fell into disuse.

        “You” isn’t a dedicated word, since it’s typically used in singular. It’s common to have something specific to the task in other languages.
