• تم is the mid level formal way of expressing "you" in Urdu and is used when addressing those of equal social status or those one has a close enough relationship with to justify the reduced formality. Because the less formal forms could offend others, آپ‎ is the safest way to express "you" unless there is reason to be less formal.
• Because تم is grammatically plural (adjectives and verbs etc affected by it take their plural forms) even when there is only one person being referred to, the term تم لوگ‎ (literally: you people) can be used to specify that more than one person is being referred to.

تم • (tum) (Hindi spelling तुम‎)

1. The individual or group spoken or written to; you, ye, Early Modern English ye.
