Formal versus Informal YOU in Spanish [TÚ and USTED]

In Spanish, there are two ways to say "you" in singular form: "tú" and "usted".
"Tú" is informal and is used with friends, relatives, and people younger than you.
"Usted", on the other hand, is formal and is used to show respect towards someone who is older, in a position of authority, or someone you do not know well.
The verb conjugation also changes depending on if you use "tú" or "usted".

Great video Liliana. I am wondering what form I would use with waiters in restaurants or salespeople in stores?

[@fireburn95rs]

I'd say because of the fact they are responsible in that role, generally use usted, it's also showing respect how like we say please and thank you even though what they are doing is their job. But maybe if they're really young like a teen then use tu

[@louandbarb]

Thank you. It seems like they are more informal in Spain and use tu more there.@@fireburn95rs

[@SpanishWithLiliana]

Yes, I do agree here. Whenever in doubt, it's better to use "usted" as well. Thanks for watching! 🤗
