Usage notes
The verb in Navajo incorporates information about person, and many sentences may thus not have explicit independent pronouns. For instance: Both sentences are grammatically complete, and mean essentially the same thing: you are at home. The verb naniná is in the second-person form, so the pronoun can be safely omitted, as in the first sentence. This is similar to pronoun dropping in other languages where the verb specifies person, such as Spanish. Meanwhile, the explicit use of ni in the second sentence emphasizes that the speaker is talking about you. This can be thought of as roughly equivalent to the use of emphasis in English: while the first sentence comes across as you're at home, the second one is more like you, you're at home.

 * Ni éí hooghandi naniná.

 * 1)  by some considered a respectful alternative to , especially when addressing customers or the elderly
 * 1)  by some considered a respectful alternative to , especially when addressing customers or the elderly

Usage notes
Both and  are second person plural forms, but can also be used as formal second person singular, as in the German  or French. It may sometimes also be capitalized (Ni, Er). The courteous "ni" was introduced in Swedish around the year 1900 as an alternative to the more complicated pattern of addressing others in the third person singular by their appropriate titles. This required knowledge of social status, occupation, educations, etc. with terms like or, , , , etc. However this "ni-reform" was not well liked and when authority came to use the word  to their subordinates the word got a condescending undertone. Interestingly enough the older, from which was originally formed, was used alongside  all along (and is still in use in some dialects) but never got the condescending undertone that  got. This was all phased out gradually during the 1960s and 1970s in the so-called du-reformen, (“the you-reform”). In contemporary Swedish, is universal and may be used to address anyone, regardless of differences in social status or age.

Ni is used occasionally by younger speakers to address customers in order to be formal and polite. However this is often seen as being overly formal and too contrived, even condescending and insulting, especially by older speakers. Formality and politeness in modern Swedish is not conveyed through specific grammatical forms, but primarily done through indirectness, manners of speaking or various other behaviors.

Usage notes

 * Triggers mixed mutation (i.e. aspirate of, , and soft of remaining mutatable letters)  of a following consonant.
 * The form is used before a vowel. When the following consonant is, which disappears under soft mutation, the form  remains, thus  +  becomes  , not *.
 * In literary registers, may be added (as, with soft mutation) for emphasis, so ni chlywais i ddim may mean either “I did not hear anything” or simply “I did not hear”. In the colloquial language,  is omitted but the mixed mutation remains, giving chlywais i ddim (“I didn't hear”).
