VOS is what they use in Argentina, I’m sure of that…what I am not sure is exactly how it’s used, because I always getting different responses from anyone I ask…
I assume this is so, because I have not heard or seen any official reference material which provides grammatical context.
It is basically the Subject Pronoun/Sustantivo one normally uses for tú; however, syntactical placement of the pronoun seems absolutely random to me.
When spoken, I at first thought they were saying my name: Bruce. i.e. Hola, ¿Cómo estás [Bruce/vos]? with vos actually used not Bruce of course
I know this would be correct to say Gracias a vos, por el regalo o Gracias a vos por el regalo me daste
But something like this….
- Your sister called you?
¿Tu hermana vos llamó?
Is where I got different advise from everyone until I didn’t care anymore to understand defined usage
La hermana de tí llamó a vos
Vos llamó la hermana tuya
And what made it worse for me was, I am not used to hearing the elle which is ll or y prounced as soft g AND with the Argentines with their Italian accent
and gestures
In certain countries it is used in place of tú (you familiar)
