In Italian, the word you choose depends on: whether you’re talking to one person or more than one how well you know the person concerned. ● Use tu when you are speaking to a person you know well, or to a child. If you are a student you can call another student tu . If you have Italian relations, of course you call them tu . ● Use Lei when speaking to strangers, or anyone you’re not on familiar terms with. As you get to know someone better they may suggest that you call each other tu instead of Lei .

● Use voi when you are speaking to more than one person, whether you know them well or not. ● tu , Lei and voi are subject pronouns. There are also different forms for you when it is not a subject. These are explained in the section of this chapter on object pronouns. ● Note that Lei , the polite word for you , also means she. This is rarely confusing, as the context makes it clear – if someone speaks directly to you using Lei , the meaning is obviously you . Alphabet
