   • 2005, Christian Dubois, A Bìbbia corsa [The Corsican Bible], Actes 11:14:

     Chì ti diciarà cose per mezu di e quale sarè salvu, tù è tutta a to casa.

     Who will tell you things through which you will be saved, you and your entire household.

• Since the Corsican verb already inflects by person, tù is dropped in most cases, being used chiefly for emphasis:

  Cosa voli per natale? ― What do you want for Christmas?

  Cosa tù voli per natale? ― What do you want for Christmas?
