💡 Grammar Points
The Rule Breaker
Most 'you all' commands drop the 'd' to add 'os' (like 'lavad' becomes 'lavaos'). 'Iros' is special because it keeps the 'r' to make it easier to say.
You All (Informal)
This word is only used when talking to a group of people you are friendly with (friends, family, kids).
❌ Common Pitfalls
The Old Way
Mistake: "Using 'idos' or 'íos' in modern conversation."
Correction: Use 'iros'. While 'idos' was technically the rule for a long time, 'iros' is now the officially accepted form by language experts because that's what everyone actually says.
⭐ Usage Tips
When to use it
Use this when you want a group to leave. If you just want them to move towards a destination without the feeling of 'departing,' use 'id' instead.
