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.

Tutoyer is using "tu" to address someone and vouvoyer is using "vous" to address someone.
I don't know if you learned this but vous is more respectful than tu when talking to one person.

[manic pollen]

so how in the sentence it can be used?
could you please bring an example?

[valid scroll]

For example when you’re talking to an elder and you wanna ask for their name for you will say : comment VOUS appelez vous??
And when it’s for someone younger you will say : comment t’appelles-tu ??

[manic pollen]

yes I know that but vouvoyer is just a verb or abbreviation?

[valid scroll]

Yeah it’s just a transitive verb

[hexed hatch]

Same with tutoyer.
