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.

Bonjour à tous
Hello to all ('tous' refers to multiple people).

Bonjour tout le monde
Hey everyone (tout le monde = everyone in the world, literally).

No big difference between the two.

[slender sonnet]

Bonjour à tous is a little bit more polite and formal, Bonjour tout le monde, less formal !

but yeah it's the same

I see... So I can use both with a group? Can I say "bonjour á vous" since vous can be used with groups of people?

[slender sonnet]

Hmm, it's not very natural to say "Bonjour à vous" without something after. If you really want to use this type of sentence, you would say "Bonjour à vous tous", or "Bonjour à vous (number of people)"

It can sound natural, but it's more like an answer (if the group told you bonjour beforehand)

[empty sleet]

So vous quite literally means you but formal and/or for a group of people

[slender sonnet]

true

Interesting

[ruby wyvern]

similar to "hello [X]" "well, hello to you"

[slender sonnet]

You can use it for someone you don't know, older, at work, or group of people yeah

Interesting indeed... Thank you everyone!
