[edit] Latvian [edit] Etymology From Proto-Baltic *tu, 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 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, Russian, Belarusian ты (ty), Ukrainian, Bulgarian ти (ti),Czech, Polish ty, Gothic 𐌸𐌿 (þū), Old Norse, Old High German þū, Old English ðu, German du, English thou, Old Irish tū, Hittite zik, zikka (< *tega < *te + *egō), -du- ("to you") (< *tu), Sanskrit त्वम् (tvám), Avestan tū, Ancient Greek (Doric) τύ (tu), (Ionic) σύ (su), Latin tū, Tocharian A tu, Tocharian B twe, tuwe, Ossetian ду (du), ды (dy).[1] [edit] Pronunciation [edit] Pronoun tu (personal, 2nd person singular) - (informal 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

[edit] Portuguese [edit] Pronunciation [edit] Etymology From Old Portuguese tu, from Latin tū ("you"), from Proto-Indo-European *túh₂ ("you"). [edit] Pronoun tu (second person singular, possessive adjective of masculine teu, possessive adjective of feminine tua) - (Portugal, non-formal) you (singular second person pronoun)
- (Brazil, archaic, literary or regional) you (singular second person pronoun)
[edit] Usage notes - tu has fallen out of use in various 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 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 ine Rio (see [1], 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.
[edit] Synonyms - (second person singular pronoun): o senhor (Brazil, formal), você (formal in Portugal, informal in Brazil), vossa mercê (formal, archaic), vosmecê (formal, obsolete)
