Review Summary

اشتباهات رایج

Using 'ty' with a stranger is considered rude. Use 'Vy' to maintain distance and respect.

Wrong: Ты говоришь по-русски?
صحیح: Вы говорите по-русски?

Mixing the informal pronoun with the formal verb conjugation is a common learner error. Ensure both match.

Wrong: Как ты делаете?
صحیح: Как Вы делаете?

Even when using a first name, if you are using the formal register, the verb must remain in the plural form.

سوالات رایج (2)

Grammatically, yes. Even when referring to one person, verbs and adjectives take the plural form. It's like the person is 'too big' for singular grammar.
Wait for them to suggest it. In many modern tech companies, everyone uses 'ты', but it's safer to start with 'вы'.
