Maarten K.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

Tim, not if it is to 'friends'. Vous is the only option if it is plural. Tu, te and toi are always singular.

Speaking to a (one) friend, it would be 'Dépêche-toi'. (Vous can be singular, but very, very unlikely to be used in this context as such !)
