Pronoun

вам • (vam) (personal)

  1. (dated) full form of the second-person plural pronoun in the dative case, used as the indirect object of a verb; to you, for you, you
    Вам двамата съобщиха ли новината?
    Vam dvamata sǎobštiha li novinata?
    Was the news communicated to you two?

Na vas dvamata sǎobštiha li novinata?
Did they inform you two of the news?
