Nous ne te connaissons

Hi Raymond.
Thank you for your astute comment, we have changed the 'te' for 'vous' so thank you for pointing this out.
Bonne Continuation !
Understandably, not the first time for this question.
It is not impolite in some social situations - eg between younger people to each other generally or at least in informal situations (although they would likely also say ‘on ‘ instead of nous), or by an older person to a child.
As a drop-down choice, it is not incorrect, although not the first response you might think of.
I guess as a teaching example, it is a chance to come across this possibility, but it might cause less consternation here if it was ‘vous’, keeping the focus on the negation and verb conjugation required - as without explanation it could result in misunderstanding the important French ‘politesse’.
