Do you look old?

>refers to me in plural
what is this supposed to mean?

>>one comes up to me and asks me to buy sigarettes and refers to me in plural
nobody will inderstand russian language features, faggot

No, or at least I didn't think so
Plural of "you", used as a polite form when you adress an older pereon

that's how you say "you" to elders and royals in real languages.

Nigger please, almost every language has this except for *nglish

ok I get it.We have a special way of saying things polite but that does not require us to use plural form.

Pluralis majestatis, same as in French and Italian (Italian actually uses the 3rd person singular "lei" instead of 2nd person plural). I actually didn't know Russian had it too.

>Nigger please, almost every language has this except for *nglish

but not in every language it's 'you in plurable form'.

>Italian actually uses the 3rd person singular
We have that too, and we always replace "you" with "Mr." or "Mrs."

Interesting, do you also have to use "we" when writing academic papers? Here, some college teachers will fuck up your grade hardcore if you ever use "I"

I think that's the most common system. That's how 'usted' works in spanish.

Should ask for a deal: kiss for ciggarets.

Real Italians use 'voi'

>Interesting, do you also have to use "we" when writing academic papers?
No, this is literally soviet era thing. This weird form was in use from '45 to '90 especially during some political speeches.

We avoid using personal pronouns in academic writing altogether, eg. ""one could assume", "it would be logical to conclude that" instead of "i think". "I" is frowned upon. In serious academia it's considered boastful and inappropriate.

This applies everywhere

That doesn't mean you're old just yet, if you just looked old enough to buy some

>Nigger please, almost every language has this except for *nglish

He's right, *nglish is the mutt language.
In french there's tu/vous
In german there's du/sie
In spanish there's tu/usted

low test?

We can use both actually, the fact is fascism made "voi" mandatory at the times instead of "lei", so after the war it has become sort of taboo to use "voi".

>refers to me in plural
Good. Here the formal "you" is being phased out and it's a shame. Even university professors are now tolerating being called by their first name.

WARNING
If you notice cringe worthy thread from italian flags,
notice that we have a lot of tourist around this time of the year. You are likely talking to a nigger/chink/foreigner and so take it with a grain of salt.
END OF THE WARNING

>meet some well educated russian girls
>somehow let's feel bad for it

were those girls cute?

In ancient English there was such a thing too. "thou" was the singular of "you" with "you" also used as a form of respect. Nowadays "thou" disappeared and we use "you" both for the singular and the plural.
