Is this Greek to English translation as well as plurals?

Or just different forms of English plurals?

As for you all I usually type in ya'll for short.

No Greek here, though some Middle English and Texan. Ya'll is "formally" written as y'all I think. That way the apostrophe represents the diphthong ou, instead of replacing the a in all and having you spelled as ya.

Below the line are the Latin emphatic personal pronouns. I say "emphatic" because the verb already carries the pronoun in the inflection.
