- Pronouns
- He/Him
I‘m 28 and today some random person at a bus stop talked to me in the german polite form (Siezen) while I was answering him very casually as a reflex reaction. He maybe looked about early to mid 20s and kept talking in the polite form. I immediately felt super old. It already happened with kids which I get (As a kid every adult looks old), but never with grown ups.
I know that in english it might be a bit different depending on the context, but have you experienced similar cases like mine? I‘m also asking those who speak like me languages with actual polite forms.
Will this now be part of my life forever? Is this what growing up feels like? :O
