Scottish and Irish dialectal second-person plural pronoun — the local equivalent of 'you all', 'youse', or 'y'all'. In a linguistic landscape where standard English awkwardly uses 'you' for both one person and a whole crowd, 'yez' fills the gap with a bit of regional personality. You'll hear it across Scotland and Ireland as a perfectly natural way to address a group, and it carries a warmth and informality that the standard form just doesn't.
Are yez all coming to the match on Saturday or what?
