Hiyaz! In too many movies and media younger people address older people by using "Ty". Seems inappropriate as traditionally you would say it formally "Pan" or "Panie" or "Pani". Whats it actually like in Poland??? Also, as I'm in my 20's, is it customary to address everyday people of my same age as "pan" or "ty"???

Kazikowski: is it customary to address everyday people of my same age as "pan" or "ty"??? In most situation you can address them "ty" even if they are strangers, except formal situation (serving a client). Kazikowski: In too many movies and media younger people address older people by using "Ty". It doesn't happen normally. They want to be seen as laid back.
