Je, Nous, Vous

I have always loved these three pronouns. So let me visit these three words.
Je (pronounced as zhuh) means I
Nous (pronounced as noo) means We
Vous (pronounced as voo) means You (either singular in respect or plural)
Without getting into the details, lets consider the following two sentences. We can stress on only the three pronouns for the moment.
De ou etes vous? (Pronounced as Doo eht voo)
Nous sommes de Paris. (Pronounced as Noo sohm duh Paree)
It may not be easy to decipher out the meaning of the above sentences, but understanding the above lines is not the objective at this stage. The idea is to have a feeling of the nous, vous and je

As long as it is possible to look at a French sentence and identify the nous and vous and je, the objective of this post is satisfied.
