Cultural Tip
In French, the choice between ‘tu’ and ‘vous’ signals the level of familiarity. In a professional setting (e.g., at a hospital or rental agency) it is safer to use ‘vous’. Also, French speakers often ask for the insurance card before confirming coverage, so having the document ready speeds up the interaction.
