German Grammar Fun Fact: In german, "you" is either "dich" when directed at a single person, or "euch", when directed at a group of people (or some super stuck up noble person, which luckily dont exist anymore in todays germany).

German Grammar Fun Fact 2: There's a differen formal form of "you" in German. When you speak to your friend you say "du" / "dich" but when speaking to a teacher or a business associate you say "sie"

German Grammar Fun Fact 3: "Sie" is also "she" and "they" in addition to the formal "you". Which also means that it can't work like the gender neutral singular "they" in english.
