FORMALITY COMPROMISES ‘YOU’: Language nuance weighty in EuropeIn continental Europe, it’s all about you. Or rather, tu. Or vous. Or u or jij. Or ty or vy.

Here, addressing a person in the singular or plural is more than just a question of grammar, it’s a social minefield. In France it can be a matter of state. A misused “vous” can make you seem cold and snobbish. But use “tu” to an elder or a boss and you risk being accused of acting overly familiar, even insolent.

The rules are wavering a bit under the onslaught of the class-busting Internet, irreverent TV hosts, the influence of English and modernity’s generally more relaxed ways. But from Paris to St. Petersburg, Bologna to Budapest and into the non-English-speaking New World beyond, using the wrong form of "you” can cause great offense – a sort of verbal poke in the eye.

Simply put, European languages that break “you” down into several different forms do so depending on whom the speaker is addressing. It is what linguists call a “T-V distinction”, distinguishing formal and informal ways of saying “you”.

In general, Europeans use the informal singular (“tu” in French and Italian, “jij” in Dutch, “ty” in Russian) when speaking to children, close family and friends, and a formal version (“vous”, “u”, “vy”) for everyone else, especially the elderly or people otherwise deserving of respect.

Sounds simple? Well, yes and no. Exceptions to the rule are endless.

The wife of French President Jacques Chirac, Bernadette, says she simply does not care for the informality of “tu”. So even after 50 years of marriage the couple still addresses each other with the formal “vous”.

18

A Primer for “ you”Want to avoid embarrassment on your next trip to Europe? Here are the formal and informal forms of “you” in a few European languages.

German Formal: Sie; informal: du.

Italian Formal: Lei; informal: tu.

Norwegian Formal: De; informal: du.

Polish Formal: Pani (to a woman) or pan (to a man); Informal: ty

Scottish Gaelic Formal: sibh; informal: thu

Source: Wikipedia

Conversely, “tu” can be used with great effect to be rude or menacing. In French, Robert de Niro’s “You talkin’ to me?” in the movie “Taxi Driver” only works with “tu” (“C’est a moi que tu parles?”). In fact, the informal “you” can also be so offensive that when the French police were battling rioters last autumn, Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy tried to smooth feathers by ordering the cops to address individual protesters as “vous”.

In Russia, some police and military officers like to assert their authority by deliberately using the informal “ty” when making arrests or pulling over motorists. Such verbal manhandling can draw a rebuke: “Ne tyki” – Don’t call my “ty”.

In Paris, Australian Katia Grimmer-Laversanne likes to let new acquaintances take the lead. If they leap straight in with “tu”, then she knows that it is OK to be informal back.

“I prefer that they set the ground rules rather than me, because I have had so many embarrassing situations,” says the 26-year-old graphic designer. “In English, whether you’re speaking to your best friend or the prime minister of Australia, it really doesn’t matter how you say ‘How are you?’ But living here, it’s a whole different ball game.”

So should the situation ever arise, be sure to as President Chirac “Comment allez-vous?” and never “Tu va bien?”----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Leicester, J.
