# Main Point
## 謙譲語 -> けんじょうご -> Humble Speech
This is けいご、very polite speak, this is the second pattern. These words lower yourself, whereas そんけいご/尊敬語 raises the other person up. **The subject of the sentences involved is usually ourselves, or our family. Something that involves us, since we're lowering it.**
Used for superiors at work, for clients, for strangers, and for formal situations.
