Usage notes

 * is a very polite form of address for a single person. It is used with the third-person singular form of the verb. (Compare the polite usage of in Portuguese and  in Spanish.) Traditionally it was only used with judges, doctors, and so on, with  being used in most polite situations, for example with elderly people, and  being used in informal situations. Nowadays,  is the most common form, even in formal contexts, and  is becoming more common than  because of contact with Spanish. In Valencian, this word is usually spelled vosté, since it has /e/ instead of /ɛ/.
