Does Polish have a plural of "You"?

Doesn't Prince Charles usually say "one and one's wife", meaning, bien sûr, "me and my wife"? But, true, he is not in the least what you may call an "ordinary English speaker".

One can if one wants.

95%+ of English speakers don't use it, it sounds ridiculous and effected.

One might even appear educated if they knew how to use it properly.

One may even impress one's wife with one's improved education over a glass of beer in a pub which is in the vicinity of one's home.

Especially if one was proficient at a number of bar tricks.

See! It sounds pratty.

If one was a chav, it might sound pratty.

Only if you can't carry it off. The authentic never seems affected.

Lyzko - correct would be "Czy moge panstwu pomoc?", or even better "Czy moge panstwu w czyms pomoc?"

No, anyone using it sounds "Pratty".

and I've notice your use of a racist expletive-

We've been rehearsing the word "one" so far, now we are rehearsing the word "pratty". Nothing is left of the charming atmosphere of the forum of two years ago. Nothing even of the somewhat half-charming atmosphere we lived under Harry and his Nazi-Polish invasion of Czechoslovakia.

So The Queen is 'pratty'?

Definitely! and any Man who uses that phrase is ever worse, it is embarrassing, it's so twatty and impresses no-one.

One may deem it pejorative, but racist and expletive? Not in my books.

How dare one call one's gracious Queen "pratty"? Shouldn't one be sent to the Tower of London for that?

You sound like a prat. :rolleyes:

In American English, one would not bat an eyelash at the above use of "one". The use of "prat" or "pratty" would sound a bit foreign, though.

EXACTLY
And where did you get that "95%" stat Citizen? I am curious. I don't hear/see it everyday, but it is not that uncommon..even here in Podunk NC where I am staying this year.

I personally don't use it as often since I have lived in SW most of my life and therefore use "Y'all"

Did you live in a northern state?maybe they don't use it up Northeast? I never lived very long North of VA/KY. Cali uses "you guys" more often as does WA. But you can still hear or see it.

And after all...... "One Does Not Simply Walk into Mordor" ~ Boromir

Might be a case of one soaring with eagles or flocking around with turkeys....

You - Ty
You (more than one) - Wy
