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.

    Back when I was at uni I had a fellow student from England who complained about the formal you in German. It took him to start learning Japanese to realize it’s really not that bad. In German it used to be that you say Sie to any adult-looking person until you both agreed to use du. At work this is a lot more relaxed now with entire companies stating everybody used du. Makes it much easier and nicer, in my opinion.
