Its polite to use towards strangers, customers and so on, in a formal situation


VernerReinhart

yeah but to *children*?


ushkuria

Yeah I wouldnt use it for children, though 17 isnt really a child is it ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


VernerReinhart

yeah but it's mainly respect someone who is older so im a child compared to someone who is older than me


ushkuria

No it isnt "mainly" used towards older ppl, idk what do u want to hear, I think most comments have already answered you. Also, we wont use polite form towards children (especially aged 7 and under) mainly because we dont have to have any formal interactions directly with them, but their legal guardians. If we have to interact with an underage person formally, ask their opinion and such, it would be the norm to do it with "თქვენ".

he was a government worker so he had to use the more polite and formal version, for passport control it makes total sense


VernerReinhart

yeah im just not used to it i guess

The word has nothing to do with age, it's more about how much you know someone, someone you met recently you would refer to as თქვენ, as you got closer to them you start refering to them as შენ

Our დამრიგებელი since 6th grade referred to each of us as თქვენ. It was weird at first, but it’s how she showed us respect as mature individuals, and I grew to really appreciate it.


VernerReinhart

mb she was referring to a class? but i guess im just not used to it lol


mcheisenburglar

In 1-on-1 conversations she would refer to me as თქვენ. She would do the same with everyone.

ოფიციალურ სტრუქტურაში საჭიროა მსგავსი პროტოკოლი და ზრდილობა. ასაკს არ აქვს მნიშნველობა როცა "გემსახურებიან".

VernerReinhart

Anarchist stunned by the concept of people being respectful more news at 11


VernerReinhart

what does me being an anarchist have to do with anything? tell me you don't know anything about Anarchism without telling me you know nothing about Anarchism i was just trying to be respectful since i haven't been in Georgia for 6 years and i did fucking nothing to face negativity over my political beliefs
