Notes
GENERAL INFO
Tu means "you" and is a singular subject pronoun. It refers to one person.
USAGE
You use tu when addressing someone informally. This includes friends, family, children, pets, or anyone you have a close, personal relationship with.
For example: "Tu vas bien?" (Are you doing well?).
TRAPS
Do not confuse tu with "vous". "Vous" is used for addressing multiple people (plural "you") or one person formally (singular formal "you").
Using tu with a stranger or someone you should address formally can be considered disrespectful.
