I'm listening to Inferno by Dan Brown right now (german translation) and it really bugs me when they start calling each other by their first names but still use the formal "Sie" ugh
I *learned* formal Sie grammar, but I think I heard it used maybe once in the month I was there. Is it more of a business/civil world use? I was in High School at the time.
Well I mean you really only use it for strangers (that are older than you mostly) and professors/teachers :)
You can basically say "du" to anyone your age or younger, acquaintances and colleages as well as everything closer than that ofc. Hope that helps.
