tu

There are two ways of addressing someone in Italian: tu , which is informal, and the formal Lei . Lei is usually used when speaking to people one doesn't know or with whom one is not on familiar terms. Generally young people call each other 'tu' even if they do not know each other; similarly an older person such as a shopkeeper may address a young person as tu . It is also usual for work colleagues to call one another tu .

In formal situations, a man should be addressed as 'signor' plus the surname; for a woman use 'signora', or 'signorina' if she is very young; both of these can be used without the surname. Italians regard professional titles as very important and these are often used instead of 'signor' or 'signora.' It is therefore usual to refer to a lawyer, for example, as 'l'avvocato Rossi.' The titles dottore / dottoressa are widely used as titles for anyone who has a university degree. Other common titles are professore / professoressa for teachers, ragioniere / ragioniera, architetto and ingegnere.
