French to French translations [Non-PRO] General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / ton/ta et votre
French term or phrase:ton parapluie et votre parapluie
la difference entre ta/ton et votre dans l'usage. Merci
Explanation: En français, il existe une forme (tu) utilisée pour interpeller les gens que l'on connait (enti/ enta en arabe). Quand on ne connaît pas les gens ou quand on leur doit du respect, on utilise la forme "vous".
Ici, nous avons les adjectifs possessifs correspondant à ces formes:
tu--> ton parapluie
vous--> votre parapluie
"thank you for your answer but I am looking for the difference in french": Would you like the language pair to be changed from FR --> EN to FR --> FR ?
Explanation: Vic is right. In English, 'ton/ta' and 'votre' are translated as 'your'.
If you're talking to your wife/friend/children, you would use 'ton/ta' but if you were to talk to an 'important' person (President Obama, Queen Elizabeth, etc.), you would say 'votre'.
Tell me if you need more information.
