KEY:
Japanese people have different levels of politeness depending on who you are talking to. We call them “ultra-formal”, “formal” (or “polite form”), “normal” (or “plain form”), “informal”, and “rude”.
This proper use is one of the things that makes Japanese difficult. There are certain rules for utilization as long as you understand the idea.
日本人は相手によって礼儀作法のレベルが違います。「超形式的」「形式的」（あるいは「丁寧語」）「普通」（あるいは「平易語」）「非形式的」「無礼語」などと呼んでいます。
この適切な活用が、日本語を難しくしている原因のひとつです。活用には一定のルールがありますので、考え方さえ理解していれば、難しくはありません。
