No, the word 'you' is a pronoun (not a noun).The pronoun 'you' is the second person, personal pronoun; a word that takes the place of the noun (name) for the person spoken to.A predicate is the verb and all of the words that follow it that are related to that verb. A predicate can include a noun or a pronoun.Examples:I love you. (the complete predicate is 'love you'; the simple predicate is the verb 'love')I made you some brownies. (the complete predicate is 'made you some brownies'; the simple predicate is the verb 'made'; the noun 'brownies is the direct object of the verb; the pronoun 'you' is the indirect object of the verb)
The predicate noun (or predicate nominative) is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject. Examples: My sister's name is Edith. (name = Edith) Mother was a teacher before I was born. (mother = teacher) Jacob was elected class president. (Jacob > president) Janet is the one who called. (Janet = one)
The noun 'fun' can be a predicate noun.A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.A predicate noun (also called a predicate nominative or subject complement) is a noun or pronoun that restates the subject following a linking verb.A linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object is or becomes a form of the subject. A linking verb is used to restate or describe the subject.Examples:Skating is fun. (skating = fun)The rides at the fair were fun. (rides = fun)The meeting turned out to be fun. (meeting = fun)

Predicate Nomitive!
That is a correct definition, however some details could be added:A subject pronoun is a pronoun used as the subject of a verb and as a predicate nominative following a linking verb.
A subject pronoun functions as the subject of a sentence or clause, or a predicate nominative following a linking verb.
No, a predicate nominative must be a subjective pronoun. The pronoun 'her' is an objective pronoun. A predicate nominative is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject. Example: It was she who told me. (the pronoun 'she' is restating the subject 'it')
Yes, a predicate noun and a predicate nominative are the same thing. They both refer to a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames or identifies the subject of the sentence.
Just a little spelling first. The sentence should be written, "What is the definition of a predicate nominative?"Predicate refers to belonging or being, such as the verbs is, are, were, etc.Nominative refers to a noun.There are predicate adjectives, such as "The sky was grey." The predicate adjective grey describes the subject sky.Or predicate nominatives, such as "John and I are musicians" or "It is I." The predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun which refers to, or is a substitute for, the subject.
How canthe pronoun we be a subject noun? Isn't we just a pronoun?

The pronoun "you" does not restate the word "where".An example of the pronoun "you" as a predicate nominative:"The winner is you." (winner = you).An example of the verb "were" as a linking verb:"Those birds were pigeons." (birds = pigeons)
