What does YOUSE mean in Scrabble?
pronoun
informaldialect
An informal, dialectal plural form of you, used to address more than one person, common in Irish, Scots, Australian and some North American varieties of English.
Standard English uses you for both one person and several, and youse fills that gap by giving speakers a distinct plural form, much as y'all does in the southern United States. A speaker addressing a group might ask are youse coming, making explicit that the question is meant for everyone present rather than just one listener. The form is strongly associated with working-class and regional speech in cities such as Dublin, Glasgow, Liverpool and New York, and it rarely appears in formal writing. Despite its wide informal use, youse is treated as nonstandard by most style guides and is avoided in careful or written English.
How YOUSE is used
Informal and regional; heard in casual speech in Ireland, Scotland, parts of Australia and some North American cities, but avoided in formal writing.
- Are youse coming to the match on Saturday?
- He shouted to the boys, youse better get out of the road.
- She told youse twice already to keep the noise down.
- What are youse all doing standing around out here?
- I want youse back here by six o'clock sharp.
