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.

    Never. Norwegian, by the way.

    Similar to German, the plural can be used as a formal version of singular (Du = Du, Sie = De).

    But I’ve never used it outside of cases such as acting obnoxiously formal with friends. And I don’t think anyone else does either. Hundred years ago, maybe. Not today.
