Getting it wrong is a bigger problem in Dutch (also in German, du and sie), there is 'u' the polite form, and 'jij' the informal form. You never know when you are doing it wrong. I always use the polite form if I don't know someone who is somewhat above my age but that isn't apreciated either often because it's too formal. Yoy English speakers got it easy, 'you' will always do
