If someone would like to say "you" and add a noun which describes who/what you are, what will he/she have to do? Is it like in English, where it is just necessary to say "you" and the noun?
Take for example "How could you Greeks handle a number system without zero?" or "How do you people handle (...)?". Could that simply be "Manen le mor mahtea (...)?"? That sounds too easy to me ...
PS. Basically this question could be asked more generall: Are there any known precedents of pleonasm, or some very self-evident theories about their possible application?
