The Difference Between My Liege and My Lord
Going back in time when listening to people say My Lord or My Liege seems so fascinating, right? You may still hear it from people even now but the meanings of these words are a little changed somehow.
Now, the word lord and liege is used to give respect to anyone, even if that’s your mate you are talking to.
The only difference I see in My Lord and My Liege is that My Lord is used for a person of a superior class and My Liege is used for a person in the upper hierarchy of a feudal system.
Let’s get into more detail about Lord VS Liege debate.

What does my liege mean?

The day starts and ends on loyalty
My liege means someone you owe your allegiance to or a person whose allegiance is with the feudal system.
Since people are not fond of aristocracy now and ignore royalty, there are a few other meanings of liege too. You may use the word liege if you are addressing,
A feudal lord
A statesman
An elderly unmarried man
A scholar
Liege, you may say is all about allegiance with anyone who holds authority over you. You can either be a faithful soldier and give your allegiance to your king and be the liege or you can deny the monarchy and can be called an unfaithful traitor by the disciples of the monarch!
Who do you refer to as my liege?
Back in time, in the feudal system, a person with a higher ranking is called My Liege by their subordinates. Or a person you owe your loyalty to was called My Liege. The honor that came with this word was unmatchable in those days.

You may say that whatever authority came after the King or the Queen was the authority of a Liege. This tells so much about the importance of the person of this ranking.
The term Liege may have become outdated in this modern world but the word is still used by people for either giving respect to a superior or mocking a friend.
I call my friend My Liege when I get tired of asking something from him and he is just being a lazy fella that he is and does not give me what I want.
But this mocking among friends does not mean in any way that the word has lost its charm.

First of all, we have two different tenses here. Whereas “Have you finished your homework?” is in the present perfect tense, “Did you finish your homework?” is in the simple past tense (preterite).
