📚 Etymology▼
'Ser,' the base verb for 'sois,' comes from a blend of two different Latin verbs, *esse* (meaning 'to be') and *sedēre* (meaning 'to sit'). This mix is one reason why 'ser' is so irregular today!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Spanish have two ways to say 'you are' (plural)?
Spanish maintains a formal/informal difference for groups: 'Sois' (vosotros) is used casually for people you know well (friends/family) in Spain. 'Son' (ustedes) is used formally or when you don't know the group, and it is the standard plural 'you' form throughout Latin America.
