In sentences like "Go home," the 'You' is implied, as in 'You go home.'
What would be the implied words/full form of the sentence "Poor you"?
It certainly isn't "You are poor."
** I am editing this question to clarify what I'm looking for - I know what the meaning of this sentence is (both meanings and the difference). I'm merely curious as to how to write it out with the verb so as to make it a grammatically complete sentence. Just like 'Go' would be 'You go.' **
Answer
I'd guess it's implicating something like:
(I pity the) poor you!
The "poor you" seems to be used like an object here.
