Cultural Tip
In French, the level of formality is crucial. ‘Choisis’ with ‘ta’ is informal and should only be used with people you know well or in user‑friendly digital interfaces that adopt a casual tone. In a bank’s official website or a formal email, you would switch to the polite form: ‘Choisissez votre transaction.’ Also, note that French speakers often prefer ‘sélectionner’ in digital contexts, so you may see ‘Sélectionnez votre transaction.’
