Cultural Tip

In French, the level of formality is conveyed by the possessive adjective. 'Ton' is informal and used with friends or close colleagues, while 'votre' is the polite form for strangers, seniors, or business contacts. Also, 'retour' can refer to a literal return of an object, so make sure the context is clearly about feedback to avoid confusion.
