Comment:
There is a generational gap where older people use the polite form nho and nha as 'you' as opposed to bu (informal 'you'). Younger people may say sinhor Paiva 'sinhor Paiva' addressing an individual using a third person nominal like sinhor or sinhora. The younger generation rarely uses the polite forms nho, nha.
