Using ''Bandwr'', ''Cremb'' or ''Sgwil'' with the person's surname (e.g. ''Bandwr Txojis'') is used for strangers or higher-ranking people. Using these words with the person's given name (e.g. ''Bandwr Iisd'') is a way of addressing or referring to people of equal or slightly lower rank while maintaining some distance from that person. In modern times it is still common in some institutions such as schools and universities (this is how students are addressed by other students, instructors and professors) but is becoming less common. Using the person's full name, for example ''Bandwr Iisd Txojis'', is used in official contexts. | Using ''Bandwr'', ''Cremb'' or ''Sgwil'' with the person's surname (e.g. ''Bandwr Txojis'') is used for strangers or higher-ranking people.
