You would use 'Lei' when speaking to someone you don't know well, or to show respect, and 'tu' with friends or people you're familiar with."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That makes sense. Can you provide more examples of formal and informal Italian phrases?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Here are a few examples: Formal - 'Come si chiama?' (What's your name?), Informal - 'Come ti chiami?' (What's your name?). Formal - 'Lei \u00e8 sposato?' (Are you married?), Informal - 'Sei sposato?' (Are you married?). I can provide you with more examples if you'd like."}]
