The following list includes augural forms of everyday usage (as well as some forms found in literature). These expressions can be used in formal and informal settings. The main difference is in the use of the verb form: the congiuntivo in formal settings and the imperativo in informal situations. Generally speaking when you use the courtesy form you should use pronouns in the third person singular or in the second person plural, while in informal situations you could use pronouns in the second singular person. The equivalent English expressions are only given as an example and are not necessarely used in the same situation.
