			''síl-«frazatí vérba osíàrívítkatsjon».''
			<br/>

			== Usage ==

			Polite speech is used when speaking to persons of authority or of higher social standing than the speaker, however, when it is used, it is used by all speakers involved in the conversation (i.e. a person of authority will use polite speech when talking down to a common person). Polite Speech is also generally used in formal situations in which the speakers has not been or is not very well acquainted to those they are speaking with.

			Polite speech isn't just used for giving orders or suggestions, it can also be used to ask questions or make statements.

			''Kí síl-ǰis sé leďeska Améríka-ins?''
			<br/>
			''If I may ask, who is the president of America?''

			''Síl-lešťa fîmí ojo.''
			<br/>
			''If I may say so, I am hungry.''

			Polite Speech is not typically used in literature.

			There is one that go along with polite speech:

			''Jůtilsasíl''
			<br/>
			''To use polite speech''

			Which can be seen in the following examples:

			''Minǰeskanés.''
			<br/>
			''Síl-jůtilsasíl silťenska.''
			<br/>
			''Eat!''
			<br/>
			''If you would be so kind as to be more polite.''

			''Síl-gróþkatsa oplaskaminǰeskatsjon drastniqt.''
			<br/>
			''Ní jůtilsasílnés. Okorsa nærsk kanel.''
			<br/>
			''If you would like it, we can go to a restaurant tonight.''
			<br/>
			''Don't be so formal. Of course we can.''
