voiyou (stressed, subject form)vouăto you (stressed dative)
vostru/vostrăyour, yours
dumneavoastrăyou (formal, singular or plural)Etymology
Vă descends from the Latin second-person plural pronoun vos, worn down through everyday use into a short unstressed clitic. Romanian keeps a fuller dative form, vouă, alongside this reduced one, much as Latin kept vos next to vobis. The result is a small function word that carries a full pronoun's meaning in a single light syllable.
