The word for "you" in French would be "tu". Or you could say, "toi" as in, "Et toi?" which means, "And you?"

AnswerI believe it is "vous".

Both forms can be used. Tu is usually used with people a person is familiar with, such as friends and close family members. Vous, on the other end, is intended to be used with older people, anyone in an authority position (teachers, boss, etc) and strangers.

When you are talking about one person, you use 'tu'.

If you are talking about more than one person you use 'vous'.

AnswerWhile in french class, I've learned that you would say 'vous' to people you show respect to, like Family and/or elders.

for example, when one says 'please' or 'how are you' to the parents they would say "S'il vous plaît" or "Comment-allez vous".

Now if one was to say please or how are you to a friend, they would say "s'il-te-plaît" or "comment vas-tu .

Now if was a stranger, like a store keeper, of course you would need to show respect, but you would say 'tu'

Note: I disagree a bit with the above statement. It would be quite unusual for a child to be in the habit of using "vous" with his or her parents. I would compare it to using "sir" with one's father.

if you are trying to say something like "Oh good, it's you", you would say "Ah bon, c'est toi"

If you are trying to say something like "Are youeating?" you would say "Est-ce que tu manges?"
