- nín
English
- honorific for 'you'
- you (courteous, as opposed to informal 你[ni3])
- you; the second person singular honorific pronoun. Since it has the same pronunciation as the regular word for 'you' (你 nei5), it is usually regarded as a special written form rather than a separate pronoun.
粵語
- 第二人稱代詞；喺寫嘢提及對方嘅時候，為表示尊重，有時會用「您」字去代替一般嘅「你」；廣東話「您」同「你」字同音，所以一般只會當係「你」嘅特殊寫法，而唔係獨立嘅代名詞
