When addressing older people or hierarchical superiors, modern BP speakers often replace "você"/"tu" and "vocês" with the expressions "o(s) senhor(es)" and "a(s) senhora(s)", which also require third-person verb forms and third-person reflexive/possessive pronouns (or, for the possessive, the expressions "de vocês", "do senhor", etc.). The expressions "o(s) senhor(es)" and "a(s) senhora(s)" are also used in formal contexts in modern EP, in addition to a large number of similar pronominalized nouns that vary according to the person who is being addressed, e.g. "a menina", "o pai", "a mãe", "o engenheiro", "o doutor", etc.
