Quando parliamo con una persona possiamo usare il “tu” (informale) o il “Lei” (formale).
Usiamo il “tu” con i membri della famiglia, gli amici, le persone che conosciamo bene e con cui abbiamo confidenza. Si può usare il “tu” anche con persone che non si conoscono - con bambini, ragazzi e persone giovani-.
Usiamo il “Lei” con persone che non conosciamo o che non conosciamo bene, con cui non abbiamo confidenza. Generalmente usiamo il “Lei” in contesti formali e con professionisti come il dottore e l’avvocato. È interessante notare come un ragazzo si rivolge a un adulto usando il “Lei” ma l’adulto si rivolge al ragazzo usando il “tu”. Lo stesso succede a scuola tra insegnanti e studenti ma non all’università dove si usa sempre il “Lei”.
Se vogliamo passare al “tu” possiamo chiederlo all’altra persona con frasi come: “Ci diamo del tu?”, “Ci possiamo dare del tu?”
Ricordate che il “Lei” formale si scrive con la lettera maiuscola, si usa sia con un uomo che con una donna e si usa con i verbi alla terza persona singolare (come “lui” e “lei”).
When we are talking to one person, we can use “tu” (informal) or “Lei” (formal). We use “tu” with family mem-bers and friends.
We can also use “tu” with people we don’t know (such as children, teenagers and young people).
We use “Lei” with people we don’t know, we don’t know well, or with whom with have a formal relationship. Generally, “Lei” is used with professionals such as doctors and lawyers. It is interesting to note that a young person addresses an adult using “Lei, but the adult addresses the young person using “tu”. The same happens in school between the student and the teacher but not at university where everyone uses “Lei”.
In a formal setting, we can ask the other person to use the informal way of speaking by saying: “Ci diamo del tu?”, “Ci possiamo dare del tu?”
Remember that “Lei” is written with a capital L and is used with both men and women. Verbs with “Lei” are used in the third singular person (the same as “lui” and “lei”).
