A remark: Czech distinguishes between a formal and informal 2nd person singular. Where applicable, the informal 2nd person singular and 2nd person plural (no grammar difference in the degree of formality here) are given. The formal 2nd person singular exactly coincides with the plural form. When addressing a person you do not know, it is necessary to use the formal 2nd person unless he/she is a child or a teenager. People use the informal address after a mutual agreement.
