[Music] which is the hardest word to translate in this sentence no is easy to translate pep rally doesn't have a direct analog in a lot of languages and cultures but can be approximated but the hardest word there is actually one of the smallest you as simple as it seems it's often impossible to accurately translate you without knowing a lot more about the situation where it's being said to start with how familiar are you with the person you're talking to many cultures have different levels of formality a close friend someone much older or much younger a

stranger a boss these all may be slightly different use in many languages the pronoun reflects these differences through what's known as the t.v distinction in French for example you would say to when talking to your friend at school but boo when addressing your teacher even English once had something similar remember the old timey thou ironically it was actually the informal pronoun for people you're close with while you was the formal and polite version that distinction was lost when the English decided to just be polite all the time but the difficulty in translating you doesn't end
