What's the difference between "Ihr seid Frauen" and "Sie sind Frauen"?

[BuffDoge]

Ihr seid Frauen = You (guys) are women

Sie sind Frauen = They are women

[relox84]

Sie sind Frauen is also the formal way to say "you are women", while Ihr seid is informal and always plural

[Saraswathy12]

So if "Sie sind Frauen" can be both " They are women" and "You are women", how do we know which one is correct?

[Paralars1]

sie sind Frauen = They are women

Sie sind Frauen = You are women (fml.)

The formal Sie in the sense of you is always capitalized for this reason.

[Saraswathy12]

Thank you!

Ihr is a plural of 'you', like the slang "y'all"
Sie in this context translates to 'they'

If you are speaking to a group of people, use "ihr"
If you are speaking about a group of people, use "sie"
