In Russian, personal pronouns are super important for talking to others. Here are the key pronouns you should know:

• я (I)
• ты (you, casual)
• он (he)
• она (she)
• мы (we)
• вы (you, respectful or plural)
• они (they)

1. Context Is Key

When you’re with friends, family, or people your age, you can use "ты." This makes the conversation feel friendly.

For example:

• Ты где? (Where are you?)

In more serious situations, like a job interview or when talking to someone older, you should use "вы."

For example:

• Вы где? (Where are you?)

2. Levels of Formality

• Informal: Use "ты" with friends or younger people.
  • Example: Ты идёшь на вечеринку? (Are you going to the party?)
• Formal: Use "вы" with strangers or older people.
  • Example: Вы идёте на вечеринку? (Are you going to the party?)
