MadDogg why are you making excuses for using the superiority ladden language brought into existence by the powerseeking devinity seeking rulers aka Mr 5 Grand King and family?
Your example of beauty as shown by the Urdu depiction of AAP instead of TUM is a feeble attempt at its best. In Nepali, AAP is replaced by tapai and TUM is replaced by timi.
It is understandable that we can't change things overnight. Those who were brought up and taught to use such feudalistic sycophantic language will not know any better and will attempt to bloat such practice with grandiose. And there is nothing wrong with that.
For those who speak that language have you gone outside the valley or the cities? As soon as you outstep the boundaries of feudalistic cities where the influence of royal highness 'bow to me' is at it's peak because of either direct or indirect influence, you never hear such grandiose language. Go to the village where most Nepalese live and you never hear your grandiose language requiring servitude right from the speech to bow to the royal's powers beheld by years of suppression.
It is especially unnerving when speakers of such feudalistic language have an air of superiority looking down upon others who speak the regular, majority accepted form of Nepali. These speaking thinks those who claim to eat "bhaat" are of less social stature than themselves who claim to jyunaar bhuja my ass.
If those who use the superlative forms do not have any sense of superiority complex because they use that language, then I have no issues with them. But they have to be aware that not everyone grows up using such feudalistic language and if they appear condescending to those that use the regular tapai and bhaat, then those suckers can suck my you know what.
