"te" is used for:
- 2nd person singular direct object pronoun.
- 2nd person singular indirect object pronoun.
- 2nd person singular reflexive pronoun.
"ti" is the 2nd person singular prepositional pronoun.

"tú" is the 2nd person singular subject pronoun.
"tu" is the 2nd person singular possessive adjective.

Tú can be used with 6 prepositions like "entre tú y yo", but it is still a subject pronoun. - 0074b507, Oct 22, 2011
