In modern Eevo, ''Tlaw'' (lit. "place") is used as a polite second-person pronoun for strangers or persons in positions of authority. It is still considered acceptable for some professions, such as superiors in military or at work, teachers, and professors, to refer to their counterparts with the familiar pronouns ''fiar'' and ''swad'', although nowadays using ''tlaw'' is becoming more common. There are some unexpected (from an Anglophone perspective) situations where it is appropriate to use a pronoun.

In archaic Eevo, ''Swad'' may be used as a polite pronoun. Otherwise, ''Swad'' may still be heard in apprenticeships (when an apprentoce addresses their ~~teacher~~) or universities when students address professors or when professors address students - it is intermediate in formality between ''fiar'' and ''Tlaw''.

In archaic Eevo, ''Swad'' may be used as a polite pronoun. Otherwise, ''Swad'' may still be heard in apprenticeships (when an apprentoce addresses their master) or universities when students address professors or when professors address students - it is intermediate in formality between ''fiar'' and ''Tlaw''.
