Explanation

ihr means "you all" - the informal, second-person plural . Use it when you address two or more people you each know well (the of du).

After ihr, the takes the ending -t:

  • Ihr spielt im Garten. - You are playing in the garden.
  • Ihr seid laut. - You all are loud.
  • Woher kommt ihr? - Where do you all come from?

If the stem ends in -t or -d, an e is added: ihr arbeitet, ihr findet.

Common mistakes:

  • The ihr-form and the er-form share the -t ending, but the and the differ: er spielt (he plays) vs. ihr spielt (you all play). Always match the .
  • For a group you address formally, use the polite Sie, not ihr: Kommen Sie bitte herein.
  • Don't confuse ihr (you all) with the ihr (her/their) or with euch (you all, /).
