1 ère^ Leçon

Tu and Vous Another unique feature of French is the different forms of you. English once had two forms also, when thou was in common usage. Tu , the singular you , is used when speaking to a close friend, a child, an animal, or a thing. Vous , the plural you , is also used as a formal or respectful way to address one person. You say vous to someone deserving of respect, to someone in authority, to someone you do not know well, and, if you are a child, to any adult who is not a member of your immediate family. Whether to use tu or vous within the family depends somewhat on the style of the family. Between some parents, spouses, and children, everyone addresses each other as tu. However, in more formal families, the children address the parents as vous. In very old- fashioned families, the spouses may address each other as vous , akin to old movies where the spouses refer to each other as Mrs. Jones or Mr. Jones. When in doubt, use vous. Using tu in the wrong situation can be an insult or a sexual invitation. Somewhat surprisingly, when addressing God, French generally uses tu. While it would seem that respect would demand vous , intimacy demands the use of tu.
