We said, "O people," starting the address without the yā' in "O people." Is there anything wrong with that?

The questioner : Shaykh! If we say "O" and start the address without the yā'?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : O people.
The Shaykh : Yes, he did not contradict it.
The questioner : Fine.
The Shaykh : This "ay" is for the address.
The questioner : So, is "ay" also the addressed party?
The Shaykh : Yes, "ay" is the addressed party. Now, regarding the grammatical analysis of "ay" as the addressed party: in "O man," we say that "ay" is the addressed party, built on the dammah in the position of the accusative, and "ha" is for emphasis, while "al-rajul" (the man) is a descriptor for "ay," built on the dammah in the position of the accusative because it is the original form. The original form is to address "O man," for example, "O man!" But since in the Arabic language the co-occurrence of "yā" with "al" is prohibited except in what has been excluded, we arrived at "ay."
The questioner : It requires the one with the nominative case!
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : It requires the one with the nominative case to be built on the dammah.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, that is right, meaning by being built on the dammah.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : O people.
The Shaykh : Yes, he did not contradict it.
