Formality is the requirement to follow etiquette. Formal is where the things need to be done by the rules or something that is done in an orderly form. Informal is where something doesn't need to be done properly or doesn't need to be followed by the rules. There are two areas of informality and formality. They are: situation and language.
Formal language uses words that do not sound right in an informal conversation such as: greetings, hello or good morning. Informal language is more relaxed, and uses words that are not appropiate for formal conversations such as: sup, cuz, ghee or wasuuuuuuuuuup.
Formal situations are scenarios that are important. For example, a formal situation is: assembly or a conference. Informal situations are scenarios that are not as important as a formal situation is. For example: park with friends or dinner with parents.
By understanding formality people can learn when to use the levels of formality during formal situations like speaking to a person with a higher social status.
