Definition
汝 is a classical Chinese second-person pronoun meaning 'you'. It is used in formal, literary, or historical contexts, and in modern Mandarin is mostly replaced by 你 (nǐ). As a bound form, it does not stand alone but appears in fixed expressions and classical compounds such as 汝等 (rǔděng, 'you all').
