Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

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.

fwiw, teenagers will practically always use tu with each other, even if they've never met
it would be mega awkward to us vous

#

really anyone who you meet while you're still a student who is also in your age range, you should just use tu

#

and even once you're older, if you're talking to a kid, you can use tu
I use vous with my students (who are all 18 years old now)
but if they were a bit younger I would absolutely use 'tu'

It's interesting to note that vous is also used by some adults when talking to children to be more respectful. This often happened to me.

It's a formal way of addressing someone

Imagine teenagers using "Mr. So-and-so" or "Mrs. So-and-so" with each other
