tutoyer \too-twah-YEY; Fr. ty-twa-YEY\ verb 1. to address (someone), especially in French, using the familiar forms of the pronoun “you” rather than the more formal forms; address familiarly. Quotes An officer doesn't tutoyer a subordinate, unless they work closely in the same unit. -- Kevin G. Karpiak, edited by William Garriott, "La Police," Policing and Contemporary Governance, 2013 Origin Tutoyer entered English in the late 1600s from the French word of the same spelling. In French tu is the informal form of address, and so to use it with someone is to display familiarity rather than deference.
