In the Netherlands we have several ways to say you.
je/jij = informal
u = formal
Usually you start with u to older people out of politeness. But then they usually say: "You don't have to call me u because it makes me feel old."
And if you keep using u they start calling you u back just to annoy you.

Bigger brother = bate
Bigfer sister = kako

it used to be you would call elders or respectable people for "they"(same word you use for they but to a single person) but I don't think people really do that any more
the asian way of doing it all sounds so fucked up though, if someone uses the wrong one it's some big deal

We have two ways to address people, one is formal the other colloquial.
You typically use the formal one with people a lot older than you, not just a few years and you don't use that with your parents.

And you respect them if you get unfair treatment.

that wouldn't annoy me at all if they did that, but english doesn't have that
So how does a man address a younger woman?
