### We and You (plural)

In Polish, plural pronouns have their own specific verb endings:
- **my** (we)
- **wy** (you, informal plural)

The verb **być** (to be) takes these forms:
- my **jesteśmy** (we are)
- wy **jesteście** (you are)

Just like with singular pronouns, you can often drop the subject pronoun because the verb ending shows who is acting.

### They: Oni and One

Polish has two different pronouns for "they," depending on the group:
- **oni** (they): Groups that include *at least one man* (masculine personal).
- **one** (they): Groups of women, children, animals, or objects (non-masculine personal).

For both **oni** and **one**, the verb **być** becomes **są** (they are).

### Formal Plural and Groups

When addressing a group formally, use **państwo** (ladies and gentlemen / formal you).

Group nouns like **państwo**, **wszyscy** (everyone), and **ludzie** (people) are treated as third-person plural subjects and take **są**.

| **my** | jesteśmy | we are |
