whats (you) in french?

Answer 1

vous..if you're talking to more than one person or someone you don't know well.
tu..to your friends.

You have similar 2nd person singular and plural in languages like French,Welsh,Portuguese,Spanish too.
English has dropped the 'thou' now and replaced it with 'you'.

Answer 2

There are different ways to say "you" in french depending on the structure of the sentence. I can think of at least 4 different spellings of "you". Here they are with examples:

Tu - Tu es gentil (You are nice) this form is used as article and always is at the beginning of the phrase. It is used when speaking to friends, family, young people, children and animals. It is a casual form.

Vous - Vous êtes en retard. (You are late)
This is used for older people, someone that you do not know well. It is more polite. This is also used when speaking to more than one person. While 'tu' is always singular, 'vous' can be singular but is also the plural form of 'you'.

Te - Je veux te parler ( I want to talk to you). The polite or plural form of this uses 'vous' (Je veux vous parler). This 'you' is the object of the action.

Toi - Je veux aller avec toi. ( I want to go with you.) Once again the polite or plural form uses 'vous'. (Je veux aller avec vous). This is also an object of the action, but 'toi' comes after the verb whereas 'te' is placed in front of the verb. Which one is used depends on the structure and content of the sentence.

Answer 3

tu and vous (plural and formal) are the nominative forms (ex: you are nice / you are all students)
toi is used in most cases where in english one would use "me" for the first person. Examples: With you - avec toi, you yourself - toi meme. (i dont have the french alphabet here guys, sorry), in other words when there's a declination. Vous remains vous.
As for me , in french i m georges or georgette!

Answer 4

There are 2 different words used :
- tu : if you are addressing one person in an informal way (for example a friend, a family member, someone of your own age or younger...)
- vous : if you are addressing one person in a formal way (for example someone older, your boss, someone you meet for the first time - until they tell you you can say 'tu' ...
- vous : if you are addressing a group of people

I hope that helps :-)

Answer 5

tu= informal, basically using it for people who are your friends or people that are younger than you

vous= formal, you use this for people you respect like a teacher a parent, grand-parent, aunts, uncles,etc. basically anyone that is older than you or you can also use it when you meet someone until they tell you, you can use the tu form

vous=is also used for a group of people you are talking to, for example a class or even a group of your friends

Answer 6

depends.
used after a verb: Je T'aide. (it's actually te just aide starts with an vowel and TE ends in a vowel too so you join them together.) or more formal: Je VOUS aide.(i'll help u.)

used with with: Je vais avec TOI. (i'll go with you)

used b4 the verb: TU as une grosse problème. (you have a big problem)

used in a formal manner, actually usually you use it with everybody: VOUS avez un visteur.

so you have four choices: TE, TOI, TU and your most popular choice: VOUS
