And what language and region is it?
I’ve noticed my language teacher uses the informal you in one language and the formal one in the other.

“The “you” we use here is neither formal nor informal, but a secret third thing.”
No but seriously, what did you mean to say? Germany make up roughly 8/10 German speakers, so “most of the German speaking world, except Germany” doesn’t really mean anything to me.
Like I said, I’m in Austria
That doesn’t change anything?
You said you use the formal you more than Germans, but less than the “German speaking world”. It’s a bit weird to use that phrase to mean “any German speakers except Germans” I think, especially in the way you wrote it.
Please reread my common. I said in my region, western austria, we use the formal you less than the rest of the German speaking world does.
