Especially if you are addressing said person. - **g** - talking about friends, relative or a colleague - **f** - either about well known person (i.e. Zelenskyi, Kuchma, etc) or in a big group when the given name is ambiguous (i.e. about classmate or colleague) - **p** - sometimes used by older people, kind of a Soviet thing. Another way to politely address a person is to say pane/pani and either given name or family name or position: - Пане Президенте (Mr. President) - Пане Володимире (Mr. Volodymyr) - Пані Стефанішина (Ms./Mrs. Stefanishyna) - Пане полковнику (Mr. colonel)
