CXI.
| Oide nasare, | go. |
| Oide nasareta, | went. |
| Oide nasaren, | does, or do not go. |
| Oide nasarenanda, | did not go. |
These forms of the verb are employed to address the second person when respect is expressed. For instance, Dokoye anata wa oide nasaru ka instead of Doko ye anata wa ikimasu ka. Where do you go? The latter way of expression is quite intelligible, but the former is preferable as a mere polite expression.
