Which one should you use?
The choice between the pronouns تُم (tum) and آپ (āp) changes the tone of the phrase. تُم is used in informal or intimate contexts, such as with a romantic partner. In contrast, آپ is the polite version of "you" and is used to show respect, even within romantic settings.
How does it change in a sentence?
The verb ending must change to match the gender of the person speaking. A male speaker uses the masculine ending کَرْتا ہُوں (kartā hū̃), while a female speaker uses the feminine ending کَرْتی ہُوں (kartī hū̃).
