Etymology

From Old Irish tú, from Proto-Celtic *tū, from Proto-Indo-European *túh₂.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /t̪ˠuː/

Pronoun

tú (emphatic form tusa, conjunctive)

  1. you (singular), thou

Usage notes

  • Unlike many European languages, Irish does not distinguish between "familiar" and "polite" second-person pronouns. Tú is used to address any one person, regardless of how well known that person is to the speaker.
  • The emphatic form tusa is also used as the vocative: Haigh tusa! — "Hey you!"
