Und du? vs Und dir?
Hallo.
What is the difference between 'und du?' and ' und dir'?
Is 'und dir' a polite form? If not what is the polite form of asking 'what about you?'
It would be helpful if you guys can explain it in English :)
Danke

They're different cases ("du" nominative, "dir" dative), so it depends on the grammatical context of the pronoun. If the previous sentence used a nominative pronoun, you have to use "du", if there was a dative one, it has to be "dir" (and there's also "dich" for accusative).
– Ich (←nominative) habe Hunger? Und du?
– Mir (←dative) geht es gut. Und dir?

Hey,
I'm not the best with german grammar,.. but!
You are using du / dir to talk to friends, family, etc.
Sie / Ihnen is the polite form of it.
Did you have a look at nominative, genetive, accusative and dative yet?
dir: dative -> Ich gebe dir ein Geschenk. You can ask for a dative case with the German word "Wem?"
example: Wem gibst du das Geschenk?
du: nominative -> Du kommst aus Korea? As for nominative you can use "Wer?"
example: Wer kommt aus Korea?
I hope this is correct. German is my native language, but I never really have to think about all the cases. They just come to me naturally :D
