minus-squaresetVeryLoud(true);linkfedilinkarrow-up14·9 days agoI’m Québécois, don’t vouvoie me, I’ll think you’re calling me old. “Tu” is definitely preferred for anyone born after 1985 in my experience unless it’s a very formal context. In school, the younger teachers wanted to be tutoyés, and the older teachers wanted to be vouvoyés.
