Cuéntenos su historia if you're speaking to Ud.

Cuéntanos tu historia if you're speaking to tú.

Don't forget accents!

You mean when you're speaking to a "tu" you're using the subjunctive command ? and in "UD" form your politely asking . I understand it that way . Corrigeme si me equivoca. - SELWICH425, MAY 14, 2010
The form for the tú affirmative command is the same as the él/ella present form (cuenta, habla, etc.). There are irregulars! - tennismom, MAY 14, 2010
For Ud., it's the same as the present subjunctive. - tennismom, MAY 14, 2010

I am sticking myself way out here and will say you are looking for the second person singular imperitive conjugation of "contar" :cuente.

"cuéntanos tu historia" would be the informal command, and "cuéntenos su historia" would be the formal command.

I would think it would be the latter, "cuentanos", but I will see what the experts say. grin

With affirmative commands, the pronoun has to be attached to the verb. :) - tennismom, MAY 14, 2010
