tú (you, informal)

 

Spanish has two ways of speaking directly to someone: formally and informally. When you are talking directly to children, relatives, friends, peers, or pets, you should "tú," the informal address.
Tú carries a tilde (the accent mark over the lutter "u") to distinguish it from the possessive adjective "tu" meaning "your."

 

usted (you, singular formal)

 

Usted is used to directly address someone older, a person you do not know, a superior, or someone you would like to show a lot of respect.

 

ustedes (you, plural formal)

Since vosotros is only used in Spain, ustedes is used to speak directly to a group of people in both formal and informal situations.
