“You guys.”
Why do native speakers say that….
When they’re not talking to guys?
So annoying!
Just the other day, I was watching a video on YouTube and a man was talking to some women/girls/ ladies/gals/females… definitely NOT guys.
And he said, “Hey, guys.”
And I thought, “What’s up with that?!”
Now here’s were it gets interesting…
Later that evening, I was on a Zoom meeting with some students.
It was a group of three women.
And guess what I said?!
Мне очень нравится ваш юмор и я обязательно буду учить английский язык
Hey Ladies,
Thank you for your story.
Regards,
Marjorie
Good evening.
Thanks for your stories.
I’m an old lady!
I speak from Italy.
Hi dear lady Bruna
Also I am from Italy…. from Comolake….
Nice to read you !
I am form Türkiye Mr Vig.Well come my country.Where are you now.I am holiday in Bodrum.İf you near Bodrum ı want to see and talk about English lessons
If you ask so, I think you said “Hey, gays!” 😀
The first time I heard someone call women “guys” I thought it was strange and embarrassing, but now I accept that as slang.
Oh, no! I supouse you didn’t say hi, guys!
Hey guys!!😂😂😂
And the ladies answer: 👀☺️👀☺️👀
Thanks Mr. Vig! Have a nice trip and find beautiful places and interesting and hospitable people!
Regards,
Flora
Hey guys! 🤣
“Hey guys” it’s a way to ask some people to pay attention to something.
Have a good travel!
I guess You said “Hey guys” because you wanted to see what would happen. But knowing that your students are not teenagers… I can´t imagine what happened…
The power of habit…
Hello, guys! It is very good approach for starting conversation.
Thank you for your story. Did you also say ,,HI, guys?”
I think when you say “Hey, guys” you mean “Hey, friends” and it doesn’t matter if they are female or male.
You said: Hi guys! What’s up?
You say-hey, guys!
When ‘you’ means more than one person, native speakers say ‘you guys’. Maybe you said: Hi, guys!
Cheers is much better than “Hi guys!” for these ladies, but nowadays does one know? Ha ha
Have a nice trip!
Hey, guys. I guess, you said
Hi.
You probably said “Hey guys”
“Hey guys!”
Hey guys 😅😅😅😅
You ladies!
You said ‘hey, guys’ 🙂
When you ask like that, I think you Said “hey guyss”😂🤣
It wouldn’t offend me😉
Hi !
I think you said something that between friends, so you said Hey guys !
Hey, guys!
Sorry I have to stop your lessens. I am out of space in my Mail. Tank You for nice times with You!
Hello Mr.VIG. I think you said: Hi ladies! How are you?
I love what you do and what you teach us.
It is very helpful.

You said the same phrase. They were surprised. Your English language teaching is like a miracle. He is unique.
Hey, guys! I think.
Hi guys
Hi guys!
hey, guys!
I suppose you said ˝Hey Ladies.˝
Language with so many inclusive rules can be “dangerous” Hi, girls. Hi, lasses. Hi, women. Hi, wenches. Hi, damsels. Hi, babes. Hi, young ladies. Hi, chicks. Hi, dollies.
I’m a Spaniard and my English level is intermediate, I guess. I don’t know if any of the expressions above could offend someone’s sensibilities.
Nothing strange. In my country it is usually to address your daughter with “my son”
Hi my students !
Hey gays. I think.
Hey, guys.
I was thinking a bit and I´m changing the comment. You said: dear ladies as a gentleman I want to tell you, sorry for saying “Hey, guys.”
Have a nice trip Mr Vig
Hey girls!
Hi Mr V
I’m learning & enjoying reading your stories.
Thank you so much.
Each time there is something interesting,amazing point is such a fluid way it goes on. Like storytelling for children.
I almost lost my habits of speaking (because I’m living in French speeking country for 3 decades)
These stories support me to update yet somehow.
