More about To

To is the friendly you, for a friend, a cousin or anyone younger. It pairs with the friendly -i ending: To chetori?, To khoobi?, To ahle koja-yi? The polite twin is Shoma. The course's phonetic note is worth keeping: say TOH with a short o, not the English word "too". It also looks like Do (two) in print, and the course hook tells them apart: To with a t is you. To chi? (what about you?) is the line that hands a conversation back to the other person, and it is taught in Module 5. To itself is taught in Module 1, lesson 4, beside Shoma.
