Further to the above, the word ye is used interchangeably in the city of Dublin with the word yous (pronounced like "use"), or it's contracted form, yez.

For example;

"Are ye going to the pub?" Could also be worded as

"Are yous all going to the pub or wha?"

Similarly, the two versions may be used in the same sentence;

"Ye're a pack o' wankers, the lot o' yez."

It must be stressed that this is Dublin vernacular only, and should not be used in other parts of the country, as this only draws sniggers and snide comments about coming from the Big Smoke accompanied by snorts of derision.

Literary sources for the uses of ye and yous include most of the plays of Sean O' Casey, particularly The Plough and the Stars.
