What does Et tu mean in English?

"Et tu" is Latin for "And you?"

It's most famously used in the phrase "Et tu, Brute?" spoken by Julius Caesar in Shakespeare's play *Julius Caesar* as he is betrayed by his friend Brutus.

The phrase expresses shock, betrayal, and disappointment. It implies that the speaker is deeply hurt by the actions of someone they considered close.
