Catford (1961) states that the second person term of you does not have distinction in its usage. It means that the second person term of you is used singular or plural subject and object and also for feminine and masculine. It does not undergo any changes in the form and use. The English second person address you can be translated variously into Indonesian second person address. The participants (addresser and addressee) may choose the form kau/ kamu if they are equal in status, age, and other sociolinguistic factors. Here, this form has familiar form called T (from the French tu) dimension. If the addresser is younger than the addressee, he/she may choose Anda for the polite form of address.
