your all's pronunciation

/yer AWLS/

Meaning

Possessive for a group: the truck, the house, the tickets. Standard your only covers one owner cleanly, so Southern talk built your all's (often sounded yer all's) off you all. Nowadays a lot of mouths say y'all's for the same job. Works as "your" before a noun or as "yours" standing alone.

How folks use it

  • “Is this your all's cooler, or did somebody leave it?”
  • “That old Ford in the ditch is your all's, ain't it?”

Origin and etymology

Grew from Southern plural you all the same way y'all's grew from y'all. The Dictionary of American Regional English records your all's across the South and South Midland, including Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia, and western North Carolina. Y'all's is the shorter modern twin.

Frequently asked questions

Is your all's the same as y'all's?

Yes. Same meaning. Your all's is the fuller older form; y'all's is what more people say now.
