In modern Eevo, '' | 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 schoolteachers, 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. | ||

The pronoun ''swad'' is used when an apprentice addresses their master or in universities when students address professors or when professors address students. (In vocational schools ''tlaw'' is used for student-instructor conversation.) In archaic Eevo, ''swad'' is used as a polite pronoun for persons of higher class (say nobles or royalty), or among the upper class. | ||
