What is the capital of Tunisia?

Difference between “tu” and “toi”

I am french so I hope my English won’t be bad.
Well, in french “toi” is used when you refer directly to the person you are talking to, whereas “tu” is always followed by a verb.
Voilà!

In English you is used as subject and object personal pronoun but in French we use different words accordingly.

Tu is always subject:

Tu parles.
Où vas-tu ?
Que manges-tu ?

Te is always object:

  • Direct object:

    Je te vois.
    Je t’aime. (note the elision in front of the vowel)

  • Or indirect object:

    Je te donne un livre.
    Je te pose une question.
    Te plaît-il ?

Toi can be:

  • Indirect object when the object is placed after the verb:

    Je donne un bonbon à toi et un gâteau à ton frère.
    Je viens vers toi.
    Je commence par toi.

  • Subject in specific constructions when we want to emphasize on the subject:

    Je prends le croissant et toi la brioche.
    Toi, tu as l’air fatigué.
    J’ai faim, et toi?
    Toi, viens ici !
    C’est toi.

  • It must be used after an imperative, with reflexive verbs:

    Depêche-toi.
    Lave-toi.
