How are people addressed in YN?

[Alinghi Federal-Democratic Republic]

In Alinghi to talk to person that you not have a relationship of any sort or in event that you must have a composed, you called him Herr +FirstSurname for man, and Frau +FirstSurname for women, this version are became poplar in also non-german speaking cantons. This is used also for middle and high kid by teacher in the lessons.

In non-formal situation between firends or acquitances you call with names, also by students to teachers and viceversa out of lessons.

[Osway]

Naming customs and honorifics in Osway are elaborate and complex. In general, a person will have three names:

• A given name (dápkíle), given by the parents at birth
• A courtesy name (laukíle), usually given to a boy by his father upon coming of age at 18. Women usually choose the laukíle themselves.
• A surname (tankíle), passed down from the father

For this example I will use a typical Oswegian male name: Kujëron Takat Bénen

1. The personal formal address (used when speaking directly to a person you aren't friends with, such as a work colleague) is to use the courtesy name: e.g. Takat

2. The formal address (like above but used when referring to a person indirectly, as well as when you first meet someone) is to use the given name with the honorific suffix -ján: e.g. Kujëronján. This form is also used to directly address a superior.

3. The highly formal address, usually used only in formal writing (and also where the second form would be ambiguous) is to use the given and courtesy names with -ján: e.g. Kujëron Takatján

4. The informal address (used by friends and family members, as well as addressing children) is to use the given name: e.g. Kujëron

Note that second form is roughly equivalent to using "Mr Smith" in English. However the honorific is attached to the given name, not the surname.

[Democratic Lykna]

The formal address would be the classical Mr./Mrs./Miss (our main language is English). Though, since we are a very small nation, it is very common to just use the first name. It is also common and not considered impolite to just use the last name (before you get on a first-name base with someone).

[Hertisy]

Basic Nomenclature

The Fateful President is formally referred to as Fateful President [surname]. Servants and his workers refer to him as Sir or Mister [surname]. The media (TV, the press, etc.) refers to him as (The) President. Normal citizens and soldiers/military units refer to him as Fateful President. Military officials refer to him as either Sir or Fateful President [surname].

Military officials are referred to as "Sir" or "Ma'am".

Military units are referred to by their ranks: Hertisian Military Ranks

Mature males are referred to by their first name. Teenage males are referred to by their first name with the suffix of "tece" (pronounced tess, ex: Jack tece), the Gophish word for "tens". Children (0-12) are referred to by their first name with the suffix of "sonül" (ex: Jack sonül). The teen and child suffixes apply to females, too. Mature females are referred to by their first name.

[Azadistan-land of the free]

n Great Nortend, people are mostly adressed by their full name.

Men are generally addressed as Brother.
Women are generally addressed as sister.
other titles include Dr., Millitary officer titles, police titles, Professor, Judge, Prince, Queen, Princess, government titles and Ayatollah etc.
Superiors are addressed as (title) and their last names.

[Constitutional Technocracy of Minecraft]

In the CTM, people typically address each other by their first names. Surnames are only really used in highly formal settings.

[Kyneland]

In Kyneland, people are mainly addressed by their titles or sex. Informal addresses use their forename.

Titles like mr (Herr, pl. Herren), Miss (Frifrou, pl. Frirouen), mrs (Frou, ol. Frouen) and others are used.

People are usually adressed as thus:
[Honourific] [forename] [surname]. Sometimes, it’s [honourific] [surname].

[Coconut Palm Island]

Here, people are almost always called by their first names. Even teachers, beyond elementary years, are called by their first name. This comes from our nation's informal nature, and our polticians only using first names to relate more with the people.

The major exception is with older family members (no one calls their parents by their first names).

[The Carenian Martian Authority]

Mr. for all men, Miss for unmarried women, Mrs. for married women

[Okstovskaya]

Commonly, people are called by either their first- or surname, but the frequency of mentioning by surname is widely larger when in formal manners, usually pre-ccompanied by styles/honorifics (e.g. Sir, Madame).

---

Like the Japanese, the Okstov languages also contain honorific suffixes when attempting to mention or call someone, although much more complicated in structure, but easy in meaning and learning. That is: a honorific composed of a suffix followed by it's suffix's suffix.

Let us first place a sample name; Yuri.
The first suffix distiguishes one according to sex. -ju/đu if male, -ga/ła if female. It can also apply to animals, particularly pets. In this case, Yuri is a female, so 'Yuri-ła'
The second suffix distinguishes one according to age. -sžo if a toddler (aged 0-3), -vo if a child (aged 4-12) -ßa if a teen (aged 13-16), -rod if an adult (aged 17-60), and -ged if an elder (aged 61 and above). In this example, Yuri is a young adult, so 'Yuri-łafro'.
The final suffix distiguishes one according to distance. -ät if near, and -ød if far. In this example, Yuri is near from the speaker, so 'Yuri-łarodät'.

And thus completes our honorific for Yuri.

[Esnava]

Surnames have been abolished in Esnava, and our new language has no hierarchical titles of any kind. Esnavan citizens, therefore, address each other by first name only.

Titles of a more egalitarian nature (particularly comrade, brother, and sister) are also used frequently in place of the given name. They can be used to address a complete stranger whose name you don't know, as terms of endearment between close friends, and everyone in between.

[Sadakoyama]

If you meet a stranger, you ask them their name and they will tell you how they wish to be addressed, typically by their given or chosen common name. Insisting that another use one's surname may indicate either a need to maintain professional or academic distance or as a way to signal a lack of respect or simple dislike. However, voluntarily using another's their academic or professional title with or without their surname is seen as a sign of respect. Intentionally omitting a person's proper title substituting a generic one such as "Mr." or "Ms." is deliberately provocative. As people become more familiar with each other the use of nicknames is prevalent, many of these gradually becoming more profane the closer the relationship gets. A person's best friend may be addressed as "M*****f****** c***sucking s***bag", while a the same person's bitter rival is called simply "Mr. Anderson." This has cause some confusion with our diplomatic corps in the past.

People acting in a professional capacity; such as a physician, Military superior in Active Duty or Reserve exercises, professors teaching a class, etc., are typically addressed by professional title and surname. It is not unusual to switch between their common name and their professional name between sentences, for example:
"Hi Bob."
"Hello, Carol. What seems to be troubling you?"
"Well, Dr. Chandrasekhar, my abdomen is..." and so on.

Interestingly, even though a large percentage of our people hold one or more advanced degrees, almost no one outside a physician acting in their professional capacity is refers to themselves as "Doctor", as it is considered pretentious. If someone does need to make a point about their PhD, is is pronounced "P-fud", to distinguish between a non-medical doctorate and a physician and mostly because we think it is funny.

It is common for minors to be introduced to someone new, especially another adult, by an adult member of their karass first.
Minors will usually address an adult outside their own karass by their title and surname until they reach majority unless they become familiar, such as with a tutor.

[Technoscience Leftwing]

We use Esperanto words: samideano (like-minded person), kamarado (comrade), kamaradino (female-comrade), and in Russian - tovarish (comrade).

[Kairios]

People will almost always refer to them as "Mate" or "Friend", but some people will use more formal methods, especially if the person is a stranger or a foreigner. Formal occasions will always have people use the person's first name in order to refer to somebody.

[Psukhe]

Psukhikoi, as customary and oft the norm in other lands, address one another in their mother tongue; Psukhean is such one tongue, spoken by the Psukhikoi.

Psukhean does not distinguish between the masculine and the feminine in regards to formal pronouns; however, the second person pronominal system distinguishes between casual and polite forms of address. The polite form is manifested using the particle أَر 'ar,' which replaces the singular pronoun; the plural remains identical in both hierarchical instances, while the dual prefixes the polite particle.

The singular informal second person pronoun is سُو 'sû,' the dual one is سْفُو 'sphû' (the polite form is أَرِسْفُو 'arisphû'), and the plural form is هُومِيس 'hûmîs.'

However, the God and its many forms, as well as higher beings and fellow men in the hierarchy, such as the Archiereus, or the court's judge, are addressed with the pronoun أَلَه 'ala.'

[Confederate Ameriwyr Leagues]

Citizen or comrade are often used to refer to fellow citizens, with comrade being more casual and citizen being more formal. Illcymrawd or 'oath-comrade' is used for friends or people within the same organization.

People also are addressed by their guild and militia titles as well, depending on the situation.

[Tsuki]

Adressed with Portmanteau of surname and first name.

[Aikoland]

Men: Monsieur
Married women: Madame
Unmarried women: Mademoiselle

Unless one is talking to a family member, friend, or colleague of similar importance, it is considered impolite to refer to people by their given name only. Referring to someone by their honorific and either their given name or family name is considered the norm in everyday social situations and referring to someone by their honorific and given name and family name is reserved for only the most formal situations.

While many Aikolandais will have multiple given names and may have multiple family names (similar to France, one's family name can be a hyphenation of their parent's family names, although unlike France, we do not limit the number of surnames that can be hyphenated, so it is possible for one to have an extremely long full name), they will typically only utilise one given name and one part of their family name in their everyday life, which is also what is used outside of official documents.

Members of government such as Deputies, Senators, or the Prime Minister are referred to as Monsieur/Madame and then the name of the office which they hold, with the office taking the feminine form if the officeholder is a woman (this is not required, but is incredibly common).

The sovereign is officially given the honorific of 'Sa Majesté impériale' (His/Her Imperial Majesty) but in practise, they are most often simply referred to as 'Sa Majesté' (His/Her Majesty).

[Libereco kaj Paco]

[Kroraine]

Forms of address differ based on certain social situations and dynamics. The most basic form of address is to use an addressee's given name, although in many situations it is preferable to add an honourific prefix. Note that the addressee's given name is used, and that surnames, when present, are optional.

DEFAMILIARISING PREFIXES
Defamiliarising prefixes create social distance and show respect or professionalism.

• Sasve is the generally used honourific prefix for men in unfamiliar, professional, or polite settings.
• Śana is likewise the generally used honourific prefix for women in the same settings. There are no differences in form of address for married or unmarried women in Kroraini culture.
• Aśarya (fem. Aśariye) is a respectful prefix used for people who have achieved a certain mastery in their art, i.e. teachers, doctors, artists, musicians, writers, and craftspeople.
• Aṣanike (same in fem.) is a highly respectful prefix used for one's seniors and for those who are regarded as deeply morally righteous or good.
• Āve, meaning grandfather, can be used to respectfully refer to men older than oneself in an unfamiliar or polite setting, but should not be used as a professional address.
• Āvi, meaning grandmother, is similarly used to respectfully refer to women older than oneself in similar situations.
• Sahāye (same in fem.) is used as a respectful prefix for persons of the same or younger age as oneself, or colleagues at the same or lower level as oneself. The literal meaning of the word is companion.

FAMILIARISING PREFIXES
Familiarising prefixes have the opposite effect, closing the social gap and showing endearment or affection.

• Svāre (fem. Svāreya), literally meaning sweet, is a fairly common prefix used with family members or close friends of either sex.
• Arañcaṣṣe (fem. Arañcaṣṣeya), literally meaning heartfelt, implies a strong emotional connection to the addressee, either platonic, familial or romantic.
• Kartse (fem. Kartseya), meaning good or beautiful, shows esteem or respect while also being warm and familiar.
• Krent (fem. Krenta), also meaning good, has similar connotations as above.
• Yāso (same in fem.), in contrast to the previous honourifics, has an exclusively romantic or sexual connotation when used; the literal meaning of the word is pleasurable or delightful.
• Laraṣke (fem. Laraṣkeya) is akin to English dear. It is generally romantic, but can be used in other contexts.
• Larekke (fem. Larekkeya) is, as above, akin to English dear, but is considered more "cute" in context than Laraṣke/Laraṣkeya

Honourifics can either precede the addressee's name, or they can be used in place of the name as the sole form of address.

[ArenaC]

same as in the USA

[Albyn]

Men are addressed as Har (abbr. H.) in all cases. E.g. H. Smith or H. William Smith.
Boys under the age of 16 are addressed as Knave (abbr. Kn.). E.g. Kn. Smith or Kn. William.
Married women are addressed as Frow (Fw). E.g. Fw Jones or Fw Margaret Jones. Under the Albish custom, married women retain their maiden name, but adopt their husband's name alongside it. So if a woman named Margaret Jones married a man called William Smith, under the Albish custom she would become Fw Margaret Jones-of-Smith. This is often clipped to either the maiden name or the husband's name, with the "Fw" being sufficient to indicate marriage.
Unmarried women and girls under 16 are addressed as Frowling (Fwling). E.g. Fwling Jones or Fwling Margaret.
Superiors are addressed as (my) Lord or (my) Lady, unless otherwise granted permission to use another form of address.
Members of the clergy are addressed in person as Father (Fr) for a priest or deacon, Your Grace for a bishop, Your Eminence for an Archbishop, Your Holiness for a primate, Mother (M.) for a nun, and Brother/Sister (Br/Sr) for a novice monk/nun. Other rules exist when corresponding with clergy and nobility.
