Questions & Answers about Jullie zijn jong.
I thought "you" was jij. Why does this sentence use jullie?
Jullie is the plural form of "you" (like "you all" or "y'all" in English). You use it when you are talking directly to two or more people at the same time.
Why do we use zijn here instead of bent for "are"?
Since jullie is plural, shouldn't the adjective be jonge instead of jong?
No, when an adjective comes after a verb to describe the subject (like "are young"), it never gets an -e ending in Dutch. It stays in its basic form, jong, even if the subject is plural.
