te

This is the 968th most frequent French word.


te

The French word "te" means "you" or "yourself" as a direct or indirect object pronoun (informal, singular).


In this sentence, 'te' is the direct object pronoun for the second person singular, used to indicate the person the action is directed toward.

Je te vois.

I see you.


Here, 'te' serves as the indirect object pronoun for the second person singular, linking the action of speaking to the person it is directed toward.

Je veux te parler.

I want to talk to you.


'Te' is reflexive here, indicating that the subject performs the action upon themselves, thus it's essential for reflexive verb constructions.

Prenez soin de te protéger.

Take care to protect yourself.
