• Тыкать (imperf.) [ty-kat'] 😄Conjugation = • Ткнуть (perf.) [tknoot'] 😄Conjugation 🔢 While it literally means to poke or to prod (like someone poking a cat to see if it's alive 😅), it has a second, very important meaning: 🔢To use the informal 'you' (ты) This comes from the idea of "poking" someone with the informal pronoun, crossing a social boundary. 🔻So, when you тыкать пальцем (poke with a finger), you're being physically familiar. When you тыкать кому-то (use ты with someone), you're being linguistically familiar! • A Вы мне не тыкайте! Don't use ты with me! 😠In this case, the cat is definitely not giving permission for either type of тыкать! 🎧🗣👇 #verbs #useful_vocabulary #tricky_words 😎RCR | Support | Boost
