Explanation
'euch' is the dative form of 'ihr' - it means (to) you all (informal, several people) when they are the indirect object.
A handy fact: 'euch' is the same in the dative and the accusative. One form covers the direct (Ich sehe euch) and the indirect (Ich danke euch).
When you use it:
- after dative verbs: helfen, danken, gefallen, gehören, geben (for example Ich danke euch - I thank you)
- after dative prepositions: mit, bei, von, zu, nach, aus (for example mit euch - with you all)
- as the receiver in give-type sentences (Ich gebe euch die Tickets)
Use euch only with several people you address informally (as ihr). For a formal addressee use Ihnen.
Contrast:
- Ihr seid laut. ( - )
- Ich danke euch. (indirect - )
Examples:
- Ich danke euch sehr. - Thank you all very much.
- Wie geht es euch? - How are you (all)?
- Ich komme mit euch. - I am coming with you.
Common mistakes: Do not use ihr as an (not Ich danke ihr when you mean several people). Use euch.
