est le pluriel de votre, adjectif possessif de la deuxième personne du pluriel ou de politesse (vouvoiement). Il s'emploie devant des noms pluriels des deux genres : vos questions, vos idées. Dans un contexte formel ou professionnel, vos est indispensable pour maintenir la distance respectueuse.
Les formules épistolaires Veuillez agréer... l'expression de mes salutations s'accompagnent naturellement de vos dans les corps de lettre (votre demande, vos coordonnées). À vos marques ! (On your marks!) et à vos souhaits ! (bless you, said after a sneeze) sont des formules figées très connues.
