The tweet sparked a serious debate about linguistic differences, but it quickly took a humorous turn, with netizens expressing their thoughts with humour. A Twitter user commented on the use of "Tu" in addressing strangers, calling it "unacceptable behaviour." Mumbaikars flooded the comments section and pointed out that in Marathi, "Tu" represents "Tum."
