What's the difference between "tumi", "tomake", and "apani"?
I think maybe it's a case difference? Are there two ways of saying "you"? If so, what is the difference between them?

Hello,
There are 3 ways to say "You" in Bengali.
a) Polite : Apni
b) Familliar : Tumi
c) Very familiar : tui (Use it only if you are really close with the person; like your best friend.)
Note: All of them are in "Nominative case".
Example: "You are a good person." = "Apni/Tumi/Tui ekjon valo manush"
Now, "Tomake" is "Objective case"; Example: "You are welcome" = "Tomake shagoto janai".
Objecti case for "Apni" is "Apnake" and "Tui" is "Toke".

There are three levels of politeness in Bengali.
1) Respectful (to strangers/elders): Ami (I), Apni (you), Tini/Uni/Ini (he/this person)
2) Polite without respect (to the peers of same level/lovers): Ami (I), Tumi (you), Se (he)
3) Close (to close friend) or impolite (to subordinate): Ami (I), Tui (you), O (he)
