Note:In Italian, possessive pronouns have the same forms as the corresponding adjectives, are usually preceded by an article, and reflect the gender and number of the noun they are standing for. So yours is translated by il tuo, la tua, i tuoi, le tue, according to what is being referred to: my book and yours = il mio libro e il tuo; the blue car is yours = la macchina blu è la tua; his children are younger than yours = i suoi bambini sono più giovani dei tuoi; my shoes are brown, while yours are black = le mie scarpe sono marroni, mentre le tue sono nere. - When yours is used to refer to more than one person, it is translated by il vostro, la vostra, i vostri, le vostre, according to what is being referred to: my boss and yours = il mio capo e il vostro; this room is yours = questa stanza è la vostra; their children are younger than yours = i loro bambini sono più giovani dei vostri; my shoes are brown, while yours are black = le mie scarpe sono marroni, mentre le vostre sono nere. - When yours is used as a polite form when speaking to anyone you do not know very well, it is translated by il Suo, la Sua, i Suoi, le Sue, according to what is being referred to: my book and yours = il mio libro e il Suo; the blue car is yours = la macchina blu è la Sua; my children are younger than yours = i miei bambini sono più giovani dei Suoi; my shoes are brown, while yours are black = le mie scarpe sono marroni, mentre le Sue sono nere. - Yours can also be used as a polite form when speaking to more than one person; in this case, the Italian equivalent is il Loro, la Loro, i Loro or le Loro according to the gender and number of the noun referred to: my taxi and yours are waiting outside = il mio taxi e il Loro stanno aspettando fuori. - For a full note on the use of the tu, voi and Lei forms in Italian, see the entry you. - Since Italian possessive adjectives, unlike English ones, may be preceded by an article, a demonstrative adjective or a numeral, an English possessive pronoun is often translated by an Italian possessive adjective: a cousin of yours = un tuo / vostro / Suo cugino; that school friend of yours = quel tuo / vostro / Suo compagno di scuola; four books of yours = quattro tuoi / vostri / Suoi libri. - For examples and particular usages, see the entry below* * *[jɔːz, jʊəz]pronome (of one person: informal) (il) tuo, (la) tua; (of one person: polite) (il) suo, (la) sua; (of more than one person) (il) vostro, (la) vostramy car is red but yours is blue — la mia auto è rossa ma la tua, sua, vostra è blu

Note:Like the other you forms, yourselves may be either an informal pronoun to be used between close friends and family members or a polite form to be used when speaking to more than one person you do not know very well; therefore, yourselves should be translated accordingly in Italian. - When used as a reflexive pronoun, direct and indirect, yourselves is translated by vi or Si (polite form), which is always placed before the verb: did you hurt yourselves? = vi siete fatti male? / Si sono fatti male? - In imperatives, however, vi is joined to the verb to form a single word: help yourselves! = servitevi! The polite form equivalent, in which the imperative is not to be used, is: Si servano! - When used as an emphatic to stress the corresponding personal pronoun, the translation is voi stessi (masculine or mixed gender) / voi stesse (feminine gender) or anche voi: you said so yourselves = l'avete detto voi stessi; you're strangers here yourselves, aren't you? = anche voi siete forestieri da queste parti, non è vero? The equivalent polite forms with Loro - l'hanno detto Loro stessi, anche Loro sono forestieri da queste parti, non è vero? - are very rarely used in modern Italian. - When used after a preposition, yourselves is translated by voi or voi stessi / voi stesse or Loro / Loro stessi: you can be proud of yourselves = potete essere orgogliosi di voi / voi stessi, possono essere orgogliosi di Loro stessi. - For a full note on the use of the tu, voi and Lei forms in Italian, see the entry you. - Note that the difference between you and yourselves is not always made clear in Italian: compare she's looking at you = lei vi sta guardando and you're looking at yourselves in the mirror = vi state guardando allo specchio, or Jane works for you = Jane lavora per voi and you work for yourselves = voi lavorate per voi / voi stessi. - (All) by yourselves is translated by da soli / da sole, which means alone and/or without help. - For particular usages see below* * *[jɔː'selvz, jʊə-]1) (reflexive) vi; (after preposition) voi, voi stessi, voi stesse2) (emphatic) voi stessi, voi stesse••you yourselves said that... — voi stessi avete detto che...

A further possibility is [uno]:you never know, you never can tell — nunca se sabe

•
if I were or was you — yo que tú, yo en tu lugar•
you there! — ¡oye, tú!YOU When translating you, even though you often need not use the pronoun itself, you will have to choose between using familiar tú/vosotros verb forms and the polite usted/ ustedes ones. ► In Spain, use tú and the plural vosotros/ vosotras with anyone you call by their first name, with children and younger adults. Use usted/ ustedes with people who are older than you, those in authority and in formal contexts. ► In Latin America usage varies depending on the country and in some places only the usted forms are used. Where the tú form does exist, only use it with people you know very well. In other areas vos, used with verb forms that are similar to the vosotros ones, often replaces tú. This is standard in Argentina and certain Central American countries while in other countries it is considered substandard. Use ustedes for all cases of you in the plural. For further uses and examples, see main entry•
