the questions of our times: formality and vampires

[rm]

This, thanks to a discussion started by weirdquark. Please do visit the comments where you will learn many things including the many ways formality is structured in different languages (something my questions did not fully take into account, and I apologize for that), werewolf pack dynamics considerations, and whether there are vampires in France.

Hm, I don't remember those verbs either! But I also haven't spoken Spanish habitually or regularly since I lived at home, and it was kind of a bastardized Mexican/Castilian dialect anyway due to how I grew up. Most of my Spanish is used either with family, as informal, or as a representative of a business.

I don't remember there being a set phrase or combination of phrases commonly used in France to request switching formalities either, but again, most of my experience was with other school-kids, so among equals, or with teachers. Is it your experience that these verbs are commonly used?
