    Hi Kortkoff! 
    Sure, no problem. (fam.) = familiar and (pol.) = polite, so they mark a familiar form (e.g. ) versus a polite form (e.g. usted). 
    So for instance, How are you (fam.)? = ¿Cómo estas (tú)? while How are you (pol.)? = ¿Cómo  está (usted)?    Let us know if you have any further questions.
