Cultural Tip
In French‑speaking countries the level of politeness is signalled by the pronoun choice. ‘s’il te plaît’ is informal and pairs with ‘ton’; in a bank or with strangers you would say ‘s’il vous plaît’ and use ‘votre code PIN’. Also, French speakers often say ‘code secret’ for a PIN in everyday conversation.
