Vannary, Sarah-Charlotte, April: When your Talking to your Grandparents vs. Your Friend

Posted by Vannary Kom in Spanish 1 - Sanchez on

In the Spanish language there are formal and informal ways of speaking. This is very important. To speak to a person who is older than you, you use formal. If they are your age or younger, you use informal. There are two different ways to say "you" in spanish, formal and informal. I learned them with a chart so that is what I am going to use to teach you. This way you can refer back to it. The main two words that you would use Tú and usted but there are some other words that have a difference. For example, in names there are a few different ways, but because I am also doing the topic of names, I will show you then.






Word in Spanish   formal or Informal
Tú                    -->       informal
Usted            -->       formal


The title: When your talking to your grandparents vs. Your Friend is there because the it shows a real life example of the Tú vs. Usted. When your talking to your grandparents you have to use Usted. If you are talking to your friend you would use Tú.
