is it "vous êtes qui" always?
So if I'm asking to a group of people "Who are you?" the question would be the same as if I'd be asking that to a single person?? Is it vous êtes qui, no matter what? I was expecting it to be like "quis" or some plural there
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate être - je/tu/vous forms - in the present tense in French (Le Présent)"

Bonjour Francisco,
That's correct, qui is invariable.

No it is "vous êtes qui?" In this case one would probably use the inverted form of the question: "Qui êtes-vous?" By just looking at this sentence you couldn't tell whether it is about a single person being addressed formally or a group of people. But that is the same in English: "who are you" has a similar ambiguity.
