You are always “you” in English, regardless of age, gender, rank, or number. In Italian you might be tu (informal), Lei (formal) or voi (plural). If you happen to be royalty or a pontiff, you might even be called Loro (which generally means they or their).

Voi is the plural pronoun for you.

“Voi” is the plural form of the informal way of addressing people. “Voi” works for formal and informal scenarios and it’s the plural “you”: Di dove siete?

“La nazione” is the Italian word for country and it’s feminine. In the plural form it becomes “le nazioni“. There are other words used with the same meaning as “la nazione”, like for example: “il paese” or “lo stato”. But for now, you can just remember: “la nazione”.

OK! ⧫ okay! ⧫ va bene! are you O.K. for money?
