Spanish Student in need of help

Question

hello i just have one question i am a spanish student. I live in NM i speak enough spanish to comunicate with my family and friends. My spanish teacher got to talking and was saying how here in the US we will never use vosotros.That instead we use nosotros,, i was just wondering why this is. Any help would greatly help,,please and thank you!

Answer 1

also it isn't exactly "instead" I believe, nosotros and vosotros do not mean the same thing

Answer 2

As anonymouscab mentioned, vosotros is used in Spain. That is why we aren't likely to use it in the US, because in the US we are more likely to communicate with Spanish speakers from Latin America than from Spain.

Vosotros is similar to ustedes in that it means "you all" but it is a familiar form of you.

yo - tú - usted

nosotros - vosotros - ustedes

Answer 3

Vosotros is generally used in Spain.
