There are many second person pronouns, each with their own specific uses. /ĭĭt/ is singular and familiar. It is what to use when addressing someone well known like a friend. Von is plural and familiar. It is what to use when addressing many people at once, but like /ĭĭt/, it implies a certain degree of familiarity and informality. /ʒĭ/ is formal and either singular or plural. It is what to use when addressing any number of people who are not known very well, or who have a different social status.
