Cultural Tip
In French business culture, the choice between ‘tu’ and ‘vous’ signals the level of familiarity. If you’re not sure, default to ‘vous’: ‘Pouvez‑vous m’envoyer le compte‑rendu…’. Also, the hyphen in ‘compte‑rendu’ is required; writing it without the hyphen is considered a spelling error.
