In German
ihr
Meaning: you (informal, plural) — or, spelled the same, “her”/“their” (possessive)
Example sentences
Ihrseidspätdran.
You (plural) are late.
HabtihrHunger?
Are you (plural) hungry?
DasistihrHaus.
That is her house.
Grammar note
As a pronoun, “ihr” pairs with the “-t” ending: “ihr seid” (irregular), “ihr habt”, “ihr kommt” — it's the informal “you” for a group. The identical-looking word “ihr” is also the possessive “her” or “their”, as in “ihr Haus” (her/their house); only context tells them apart.
Common mistake
Don't confuse pronoun “ihr” (you, plural) with possessive “ihr” (her/their) — they're spelled identically, so check whether a verb or a noun follows: “ihr kommt” (pronoun) versus “ihr Haus” (possessive).
