Keigo, a linguistic phenomenon in Japanese culture, is a set of formal language conventions used to express politeness, respect, and social hierarchy in communication. It includes three main levels: sonkeigo, which uses honorific verb forms and humble expressions to show respect to superiors; kenjougo, which employs humble language to downplay oneself when speaking to higher-status individuals; and teineigo, a polite form of standard Japanese for formal settings. Keigo is crucial in Japanese society, reflecting hierarchy and politeness. It involves using respectful expressions, appropriate vocabulary, and complex grammatical forms. Mastering keigo is seen as a mark of maturity, professionalism, and social awareness.
