From Proto-Balto-Slavic *tū, Proto-Indo-European *túh₂, *tū, *tu, genitive *tewe, dative *toy, *tebʰ(y)e, accusative *t(w)e. The Latvian tevis comes from *tevens, with an -en-increased form showing an additional s by analogy with other genitive plurals. The dative form was originally closer to Old Prussian tebbei; the current form tev has a v due to influence from other declension forms, and the ending was reduced. The accusative tevi comes from *teven, with n by analogy to the accusative form of other words. The locative tevī was formed by analogy with i-stem nouns. Cognates include Lithuanian tù, Old Prussian tū, thu, toū, thou, tau, Sudovian tu, Old Church Slavonic, Belarusian, Russian ты (ty), Ukrainian, Bulgarian ти (ti), Czech, Polish ty, Gothic 𐌸𐌿 (þū), Old High German þū, Old Norse þú, Old English þū, German du, English thou, Old Irish tú, Hittite [Term?] (/zik/), [Term?] (/zikka/) (from [Term?] (/*tega/), from [Term?] (/*te/) + [Term?] (/*egō/)), [Term?] (/-du-/, “to you”) (from [Term?] (/*tu/)), Sanskrit त्वम् (tvám), Avestan 𐬙𐬏‎ (tū), (Doric) Ancient Greek τύ (tú), (Ionic) σύ (sú), Latin tū, Tocharian A tu, Tocharian B twe, tuwe, Ossetian ду (du), ды (dy).[1]

• IPA^(key): [tu]

tu (personal, 2nd person singular)

1. (informal in the singular) you; (dated) thou; second person pronoun, referring to the addressee

   vai tu nāksi man līdzi? ― are you coming with me?

   pieder tautai, tad tauta piederēs tev! ― belong to the people, and then the people will belong to you!

   būt uz tu ar kādu ― to be on intimate terms (lit. to be on thou) with someone

2. (in the expression “ak tu...”) used to strengthen the meaning of a word or expression

   “ak tu to skaļo gaiļa rīkli!” māte priecājas ― “oh you loud rooster throat!” mother said happily

   ak tu mūžs! cūka izlauzusies no aizgalda! ― ah (you) life! the pig escaped from the pen!

The form tavs is a possessive pronoun ('your'), while tevis is a true genitive form ('of you'). The dative form tevim is used only optionally, with prepositions.

tu (second person singular, masculine possessive adjective teu, feminine possessive adjective tua)

1. (informal in Portugal, literary, archaic or regional in Brazil) you; thou (singular second person pronoun)

• Tu has fallen out of use in some regions of Brazil, including most of the Southeast and the Center-West, where “você” has taken its place. It’s still very commonly used in various regions of the country though, such as most of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, parts of Paraná, Rio de Janeiro city and most of the Northeast and North regions. It should be noted that, in Rio de Janeiro, the pronoun is frequently employed interchangeably with você. Despite the media's preference for "você", the usage of "tu" seems to have been gaining ground throughout the last few decades in Rio (see , a linguistic research on the topic in Portuguese), being most frequent among youngsters.
• According to grammars, tu should always take second person singular verbs, as is the case in Portugal and some parts of Brazil. However, in many Brazilian dialects which employ tu, it now takes third person singular verbs, like você.

• (second person singular pronoun): o senhor (Brazil, formal), você (formal in Portugal, informal in Brazil), vossa mercê (formal, archaic), vosmecê (formal, archaic), vossemecê (formal, obsolete)
