"te" is an object pronoun. This has nothing to do with real life objects, it's a grammatical object, which means that it is the receiver of the verb's action.

Examples:

Mary loves John ==> "Mary" is the subject of the verb "loves" and "John" is its object.

I love you ==> "I" is the subject of the verb "love" and "you" is its object.

In French, when the object of the verb is "you", the translation of "you" is "te".

Je te déteste = I hate you. "je" is the subject of "déteste" and "te" is its object.

Ohhhhh thank you

very much

i was so stuck on it google wasn't helpful

[teal folio]

so te is used when you are referring to grammatical objects in a sentence

mainly being the word before the object itself

and its formal I'm assuming?

[lofty geyser]

it's not formal, no. "tu" and its object pronoun vesion "te" are the informal version of "you".

The formal version is "vous"

oh ok
