levels of speech is mainly defined by address forms while in Japanese or Vietnamese, pronouns, verbs, and nouns all have different levels. Truly, in English, there is no division in the use of second pronoun “you”. “You” is referred to use to everyone from youth to older people, from friends to superiors.
