How to Say ‘You two; both of you’ in Japanese
お二人
o futari
[oh foo-tah-ree]
💬 Usage Tip: [お二人] is a polite way to say "you two" or "the two of you." The [お] adds respect, so it works well for parents or in-laws.
🇯🇵 In Japan: This is a warm, respectful way to address a couple together, especially older people. It sounds much more natural here than directly saying [あなたたち].
