Strange thing is that tu and vos exist in most Romance languages. Tu is supposed to be the informal second person pronoun, while vos originally functioned as the formal second persin pronoun (basically usted now). So if I were to make an analogy English: You, Thou Spanish: Tú, Vos Portuguese: Tu, Você (in Brazil, você is just you) French: Tu, Vous Italian: Tu, Voi (this is archaic, as people use Lei instead, but elderly people in the South of Italy still use voi) Romanian: Tu, Dumneavoastră

Tú, con acento, funciona como pronombre personal y lo empleamos para referirnos a la persona con que hablamos, mientras que tu, sin acento, es un adjetivo posesivo que indica que algo es propio o particular de alguien. La tilde que diferencia tú de tu se denomina tilde diacrítica. Una tilde diacrítica es aquella que se emplea para dar a una palabra un valor o un significado distinto. De allí que la tilde en tú y tu nos permita diferenciar cuándo se trata de un pronombre y cuándo de un adjetivo.

Como uruguayo viviendo en Venezuela (desde 1975 a1987) me llevo casi tres meses entender a la gente en la calle. Cuando crei que ya lo tenia, empece a conocer maracuchos ( oriundos de Maracaibo). Con el tiempo conoci muchos colombianos y tuve que poner mi cerebro a trabajar "a millon". Aqui en Canada he tenido el privilegio de conocer hispanos a los cuales nunca tuve la fortuna de ver en mi Montevideo natal. Mi segunda esposa es originaria de Nova Scotia y cuando la conoci estaba convencido de que mi ingles era razonablemente bueno. La forma en que esta gente habla y pronuncia su idioma es tan variado como el espanol usado por nosotros los latinos. Fisicamente (como buen rioplatense que soy) me veo como cualquier europeo. Las influencias idomaticas que recibi en Venezuela y despues en Canada con los otros hispanoparlantes me cambio tanto la forma de hablar mi propio idoma que hay latinos que me preguntan si soy venezolano que ha vivido en Uruguay. Nunca cambie el sonido de la "y" o "ll",simplemente porque no es natural para mi,aunque el sonido "sh" se me suavizo un poco. Los cubanos me dicen que sueno como un argentino que ha vivivo en Cuba por mucho tiempo y un numero importante de canadienses me preguntan si soy griego,frances o italiano. Nunca si soy latino. A esa gente les digo que yo me veo y sueno asi debido a que en Latinoamericana nosotros nos acostamos con cualquiera. "If we like you,you are on". Si hay algo positivo para tomar de la conquista y la destruccion de las maravillosas culturas americanas,es que mas de 500 millones de personas nos comunicamos entre si sin mayores problemas.

My japanese bf is trying to learn spanish to talk more with my (mexican) family. This is the hardest thing to learn, i think. Because it's not just remembering the different conjugations, but the weight of the social context. Japanese also has hierarchy language, like respectful ways to address older ppl, or bosses, teachers and so on, so the concept isn't as weird to him. Americans i think are rare in how informal language is. So much, that it is easy to forget that class does inform society in US- even if it's reflected differently. I always find it useful to ask at the beginning what ppl are comfortable with. It's wonderful to talk about the different ways we use the same language because so often "Latin America" is grouped as one. Which, is true to a degree; we have shared colonizers, shared pain. But also distinct identities and histories, each one rich and diverse. Thank you for your video!

Hola Joanna, Soy argentino. OK, OK, todos tenemos defectos, che. No te rías. :-) Según tengo entendido, lo de los países que quedaron aislados de España sería correcto. Pero no es que el "vos" haya evolucionado solo, en aislamiento en la región, sino que habría sido común en España en la época en que se colonizó Argentina y, por estar aislados, una vez que en España dejó de usarse, a nosotros no nos llegó la actualización de firmware... Esto también explicaría la existencia del "vos" en tantos otros países de Hispanoamérica, como Colombia, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, etc. En esa época, las diferencias de clases sociales eran estrictas y a los reyes no sé les hablaba de tú, ni de usted, sino de "vos". ¿Sabías que la palabra "usted" provendría de la abreviación de Vuestra Merced? Usaron vUeSTra. mercED como abreviación. (La "v" - o úve se pronunciaba como una "u" con labios semicerrados y pronto la v y la u se hicieron un mismo sonido en "vusted", quedando "usted"). En catalán, sigue diciéndose "vostè". Agrégale a esto que la gente que se subía a esos barcos y se iba a América en el siglo 16, no era precisamente lo más selecto de la sociedad española y trataban de "vos" a todo el mundo. El último dato interesante, aunque no muy relacionado, es que si tratas de configurar Windows o Microsoft Office en español y eliges Argentina, tienes la opción de "tuteo" o "voseo" para el diccionario, ya que los verbos también cambian con "vos" en lugar de tú. La conjugación es muy similar a la que se usa para vosotros, en general "vos tenés" en lugar de "tú tienes" o de "vosotros tenéis". Algunos verbos irregulares son más complicados como el imperativo de morir. No sé lo desees a nadie, pero sería "muérete tú", "moríos vosotros" y "morite vos" o "sal tú," "salid vosotros" y "salí vos"... Los uruguayos, que yo sepa, son los únicos que mezclan (y es una de las muy poquitas pistas para distinguir a un uruguayo de un argentino). Pueden decir: "Tú tenés". En Argentina esto no se da jamás. O tú tienes (si hablamos con alguien que no es argentino) o vos tenés. Nunca vos tienes o tú tenés. Saludos y espero y rezo por la pronta y favorable resolución de la situación extrema de la querida Venezuela.

In Brazil we have a similar issue in Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR). We have some variations for "you". The general use is "você". A more respectful word is "senhor" (for men - and "senhora" for women), which is simular to "Usted". We also have "tu", which is similar to "você", but not too common (but it is used in some regions of the country, mainly in southern Brazil). On the other hand, "tu" is still used in Portugal (PT-PT). They just don't use the word "você" there.

Nicaragua exclusively uses the VOS version even in advertising and television, we never use TU and reserve USTED strictly for parents/grandparents or some sort of authority (judges, clergy, etc). USTED comes from "vUeSTra mercED" (Your Grace) and got shortened with time, it was originally reserved for nobility. It's also important to note that depending on which version you use changes the conjugation of the verb that follows: Tu corres (run) Vos corrés (run) Usted corre (run) P.s. Spanish TU/USTED is to YOU, what VOS/VOSOTROS is to THOU in English dle.rae.es/srv/fetch?id=dktBVsI

[@mep6302]

Totally wrong about "tu/usted is you" and "vos/vosotros is thou". Tu is the literal equivalent of thou in English. Vos was originally vosotros. So its arcaic equivalent was and still is you. Usted and ustedes would be (and are) you.

[@roangarcia]

Mau Pr sorry but that’s absolutely incorrect, “Thou” is the archaic English version of “You” much like “Vos” in Castilian Spanish is the archaic version of “Tu” which is the version most Spanish speakers use today, so how could it be considered archaic ?!? Also “vos” is most definitely not the original version of vosotros it is the singular as in “Vos + otros” plural. This was confirmed to me by a teacher in Spain with a Masters in Spanish Language and Castilian history.

In Spain we only use "vos" when we want to be fancy AF. We mostly "tutearnos", even when we don't know each other but think our age is similar.

In some parts of Spain, like Canarias, they use "tú"but, instead of "vosotr@s", they'll rather say "ustedes". Spanish is harder than I thought xD. En España sólo usamos "vos" cuando queremos pasarnos de chulos xD. Nos tuteamos la mayor parte del tiempo, incluso cuando tratamos con una persona a la que no conocemos muy bien pero que ronda nuestra edad. "Usted" es para ser respetuoso con los ancianos o personas que parecen mayores y están entre tú edad y la muerte.
