What is tu when translated from French to English?

"Tu" in French translates to "you" in English. However, it's important to note that "tu" is the informal "you" used when addressing someone you know well, like a friend or family member.

Here's a breakdown:

* Tu = informal "you" (like "you" in "Hey you, come here!")

* Vous = formal "you" (like "you" in "May I ask you a question?")

So, depending on the context, "tu" can translate to "you" but can also be interpreted as "thou" in older or poetic English.
