English
Uh, generally, in public settings or in formal settings, for example, uh, in a meeting, or when receiving, uh, another, uh, coworker, or introducing a relative or good friend to someone, generally you still use “Mister,” “Miss,” or “Madame” to introduce them. In informal settings, even though you don’t use them, unless it’s a really close friend, you’re still, uh, better off using “Mister,” “Miss,” or “Mrs.” Generally, uh, usually, uh, unless it’s a friend. Otherwise, uh, usually, uh, in certain settings you can’t call someone by their “first name.” That’s a little impolite.
