Although the 3rd person pronoun "você" tended to replace the classical 2nd-person pronoun "tu" in several Brazilian dialects and, especially, in the media communication, the use of "tu" is still frequent in several Brazilian Portuguese dialects. Most of the dialects that retain "tu" also use accordingly "te" (accusative pronoun), "ti" (dative postprepositional pronoun), "contigo", and the possessive "teu, tua, teus, and tuas". The use of "tu" is dominant in the South (Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and parts of Paraná) and Northeast (with the exception of most of Bahia and some other areas, mostly in the coast), and it is also very frequent in the Northern region and Rio de Janeiro.
