Difference between “nous autres”, “vous autres”, “eux autres” and “nous”, “vous”, “eux”?

Question

I live in Quebec, and I hear all the time people saying this: - “*Nous autres*” instead of “*nous*” I guess - “*Vous autres*” instead of “*vous*” - “*Eux autres*” instead of “*eux*”I have some questions: - Is it right to use “*-autres*” in this case? - Do the “*-autres*” words have the same meaning as the ones without it? - I live in Quebec, is it used just here? I've never been to another French-speaking place.

Answer 1

"Vous autres" is the Quebecois (French Canadian) equivalent of "you guys". We use "guys" more broadely though. Your guess is correct, "eux autres" is something commknly said that means "these/those guys".

Canadian French is a bit weird, feel free to book a tutoring session with me for more help!
