"Vous êtes beau."

Translation: You are beautiful.

[Fairlie]

Why not "beaux"? Can't "vous" be regarded as plural too?

[H-3000]

i have the same question. Can anybody answer it, please?

[Sitesurf]

Yes, of course "you are beautiful" can translate to "vous êtes beaux" or "vous êtes belles" on top of tu es/vous êtes beau/belle

[ArkanGaulson]

Doesn't the adjective have to agree with the verb? Why is "Vous etes beau" also correct?

[Remy]

"Vous" is a personal pronoun which can have 2 meanings:

• Second person singular formal (if you don't know or respect the person you are talking to): "Vous êtes beau/belle" = "You are beautiful"

• Second person plural: "Vous êtes beaux/belles" = "You (all) are beautiful"

FYI: the second person informal is "tu" : "Tu es beau/belle" = "You are beautiful"
