What is you when translated from English to French?

This is a bit tricky! The word "you" in English can be translated in a few different ways in French, depending on the context. Here are the most common:

* Informal: "tu" (used for close friends, family, children, and sometimes people you know well)

* Formal: "vous" (used for strangers, people in authority, or anyone you want to show respect to)

* Formal (plural): "vous" (used when addressing multiple people, regardless of their familiarity)

So, to give you the most accurate translation, I need to know who you are talking to!

For example:

* "You are my friend." --> "Tu es mon ami."

* "You are a kind person." --> "Vous êtes une personne gentille."

* "You all are welcome." --> "Vous êtes tous les bienvenus."
