Hey everyone!
I just want to ask a quick (maybe? lol) question:
I've realized that in Japanese there's informal, formal, honorific/humble forms of speaking. So, the question is when does one use each one?
I know that the informal is used with close friends and family members. And that you use the formal with strangers, teachers, etc. So, when does one use the honorific/humble forms? Like, with your boss, or some other types of people...? I just don't want to offend anyone if for some reason in the future I should use one specific type rather than another.
Thanks!
