What is the English phrase you in French?

The English phrase "you" in French depends on the context and formality:

Formal:

* vous (pronounced "voo") - Used for addressing one or more people formally, like a stranger, someone older, or in a professional setting.

Informal:

* tu (pronounced "too") - Used for addressing one person informally, like a friend, family member, or someone you know well.

Plural Informal:

* vous (pronounced "voo") - Used for addressing multiple people informally, like a group of friends.

* Plural Informal: "Do you like coffee?" - "Aimez-vous le café?"
