Politeness & formality (sound respectful fast)

Formality is one of the fastest ways to sound natural in many languages.

What matters most

Mostly informal in everyday use; polite phrasing is still helpful.

  • When in doubt, choose the more polite form.
  • Memorize one polite question pattern and reuse it everywhere.
Hva heter du?
What’s your name?
Jeg heter ____.
My name is ____.
Snakker du engelsk?
Do you speak English?

Mini challenge

Say your ‘Do you speak…?’ sentence in the polite form, then in the casual form (if your language has both).
