তুই

What does তুই mean?

তুই (tui) is a Bangla pronoun that means you (intimate), you (very informal) in English.

This is the intimate second-person pronoun used exclusively with very close peers, childhood friends, younger family members, or beloved pets. While it indicates deep warmth and absolute lack of social distance among intimates, using it with acquaintances, elders, or service workers is perceived as deeply offensive and disrespectful. Foreign learners should stick to polite আপনি (apni) or familiar তুমি (tumi) until a native speaker explicitly welcomes them to use this form.
