What does YE mean in English?

"YE" is an archaic form of the second-person plural pronoun "you."

It was commonly used in older English, particularly in poetry, religious texts, and literature from the Middle Ages and early modern periods.

Here's an example:

* "Ye olde shoppe" (meaning "The old shop") is a common phrase that still uses "ye" for a quaint, old-fashioned feel.

However, "ye" is rarely used in modern English. "You" is the standard form for both singular and plural.
