If you speak a language that has a formal 'you', when do you use it? (lemmy.world)

And what language and region is it?

I've noticed my language teacher uses the informal you in one language and the formal one in the other.

    That doesn't change anything?

    You said you use the formal you more than Germans, but less than the "German speaking world". It's a bit weird to use that phrase to mean "any German speakers except Germans" I think, especially in the way you wrote it.
