Usage notes
- The possessive pronoun Ваш (Vaš) is comparable to French votre, German Ihr, and is used not only in the informal plural sense, but also as the formal singular and plural, in which case it is always capitalised. The formal Ваш (Vaš) is appropriate with strangers, business contacts, and all but one's friends. (The informal твой (tvoj) should only be used with close family and friends.)
