"To kojā miravi?" (تو کجا میروی؟) uses the informal "you" (to) with a matching informal verb ending (-i in miravi). This to is for close friends, family, children, or informal peers — never for someone you should address respectfully.
Where English speakers slip
Because English "you" works for everyone, learners often default to to for every "you," but Persian requires switching to the formal/plural shomā for strangers, elders, or anyone you'd address respectfully — using to with the wrong person can come across as rude or overly familiar.
