Does your country/language use honorifics?

For French, it's pretty similar to english when it comes to using honorifics (i.e. we don't).

 

But, often if you're talking to someone older (like a grandparent or an elder) or someone like your boss or of higher standing, you'll use the "vous" form of the word "you" instead of "tu" or "toi".

in dutch we have "jou/je/jij" as "you" and then "u" as honorific to elders, teachers or people with a higher position than you

The current country I live in, America, we really forego honorifics at all. But I used to live in several Asian(South Asia and East Asia)countries before, they have all included honorifics in daily speech.

Honorifics in the form of  suffixes or verb conjugation, no.

 

Honorifics in the form of titles, yes.

 

Dr., Mrs. Ms., Ma'am, Sir, Mr. are honorifics.

 

 

Well, technically aren't "ma'am" and "sir" honorifics?

 

 

Yep. Idk why people are saying english doesn't have any.. what do they think Miss, Ms, Mr, Sir, Mrs are?  :lol:
 

 

From what I've been told, things Southerners say  :lol:  :lol:
