Interesting! So 'pil' is singular, right? Does this combination of 'jste' and 'pil' imply that 'jste' is used as second person formal singular (to one man) rather than as second person plural? In Russian for instance вы always goes with plural пили even when addressing one person.

And if it was not a question? Then wordorder wouldn't change, letting "jste" in the second position ? Or we would write "Vodu jste pil." ??
