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.
