Como Vós Estais Hoje?

Manuel offers to help his neighbour with some yard work. This Shorty includes the personal pronoun vós (another pronoun for "you") and conjugation of verbs in that form. We don’t use vós in most of our content, or in the Verbs section, because it has fallen out of use nowadays, except in specific regions and contexts. The more common alternatives you’re probably familiar with are você (singular, formal) and vocês (plural). Regardless, you could come across vós in books, theatre plays, at church, or if you spend time in the Douro and Beira Interior regions. It's an interesting pronoun because it can be used to address an individual or multiple people.
