Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.
Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.
As you correctly stated, “je” is for “I”, and “tu” is for “you”
Tu is typically used to refer to a single person in an informal setting
On the other hand, “vous” also means “you,” but it refers to either a group of people or a single person in a formal setting (such as speaking to a boss)
Singular
- Je = I
- Tu = you (singular/informal)
- Il = he, Elle = she, On = we (broad term), Iel = they (singular)
Plural
- Nous = we (specific group)
- Vous (plural/formal)
- Ils/Elles = They
@inland ocean look up reverso conjugation and put a verb in there
The goat
Forgot to mention, for referring to a group thats a mix of genders, the pronoun would be Ils
So like
They (the girls and the boys) eat.
It would be “Ils mangent”
Yeah i haven’t really heard it being used, but it exists
It’s supposed to be a gender neutral pronoun
Just to add, « on » means 'we' in a conversational context; we use « nous » on formal written material. « on » is a lot wider too since it can be used to signify a general third person (En France, on mange des baguettes – In France, people eat baguettes), a passive (on frappe à la porte – the door is being knocked)
« iel » is used as a non-binary pronoun but its usage outside of the LGBTQ community is virtually unknown AFAIK
Tysm
That's a nice guide to « on »
ooo thanks that's helpful for me as well lol
