Usage notes
- The practice of ihrzen towards a singular person is now mostly associated with archaic and poetic language.
- However, it remains common in certain regional dialects and may transpire into colloquial Standard German. In the Rhineland, for example, it is sometimes heard as a compromise form between siezen and duzen when the former feels too formal and the latter too informal (e.g. towards a new customer in a pub where du is used towards the regulars).
