What is the English translation of the French phrase 'Je le tutoie'?

Answer 1

"I use the familiar "you" with him" is an English equivalent of the French phrase Je le tutoie.

Specifically, the personal pronoun je is "I". The personal pronoun le means "him". The verb tutoiemeans "(I) am on familiar terms with, use the informal "you" form".

The pronunciation will be "zhuh luh tyoo-twah" in French.

A more accurate translation would be "I'm using "thee" with him" or "I thou him" from the verb "to thou" = "tutoyer"

Je ---- I

Tu ---- Thou (Now "thou" is an archaism, it's a pitty, because english has lost another way to distinguish a relationship between two individuals during a chat)

Il, Elle, on --- He, She, *** ("on" doesn't have a real equivalent in english at my knowledge, it is an indefinite pronoun of the third person singular)

Nous --- We

Vous --- You (means either an unknown person or a person to whom we speak with respect (politeness or hierarchy) or a group of people

Ils, Elles --- They
