"We write to you."

Translation: Nous vous écrivons.

[italiaoo]

Shouldn't the following be accepted as correct: "Nous écrivons à toi"?

[ArkanGaulson]

I think a fair few of us are wondering about this.

[jippertje]

Why not: nous écrivons à toi? Toi means you.

[Arnauti]

What would it be like if we wrote letters to 'vous'?

[Arnauti]

OK I got that in the next sentence: nous vous écrivons. Sounds kind of funny.

[dro151]

would nous tu ecrivons also be correct here?

[Arjofocolovi]

No, the "t' " contraction is mandatory with verbs starting with a vowel. Besides, it's not "tu" that is used, it's "te".

• "Nous te faisons confiance."
• "Nous t'adorons"

[SMess]

Why is it incorrect to say nous ecrivons a tu/vous? Is it that "te" is "to you" and "tu" is "you"?

[TalebSh]

Yes ; " Tu " is generally a pronoun means you like "Je,Nous ...etc" In English
Par example : Tu manges , Tu aime
and in formal way we don't put an apostrophe instead of the vowel
Par example : Tu aide ; We haven't deleted the vowel like J'aime
and Te is generally translated like " Je t'aime "
I love you
we don't need absolutely to translate it To + ..
