Interesting. WHat's the distinction between çkarh and klarä? Is klarä used in cases where the addressee is particularly close to the speaker, as in speaking to a family member or lover?

What's the distinction between these two? Is the second used when speaking to one person, but when referring to a group that he belongs to? As in, for example, asking a clerk at a store if they have a given item? That is, speaking to one person, but referring to the store. -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'.
