Answer 1

There are two ways - the familiar (friends, family, etc.) and formal (boss, strangers, etc.).

Tú = you, singular, familiar

Vosotros = you, plural, familiar (pretty much only in Spain)

Usted = you, singular, formal

Ustedes = you, plural, formal, and familiar outside of Spain

What happened to vos and ustedes in place of vosotros? - 0074b507, Jul 30, 2010

Ustedes is the last entry, formal and familiar outside of Spain. Vos is just confusing to beginners. Pretty much limited to Argentina and the middle ages. Never studied it in school, never heard it in Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Puerto Rico, or Mexico. - KevinB, Jul 30, 2010

Answer 5

Formally - tjones20

Good choice, Informally is where all of the exceptions lie.

The subject pronouns for you formal are

usted -singular

and

ustedes plural

They also function as objects of the preposition. (your or you)

el libro de usted

reflexive ofbject of the prepositon for you =sí

The formal possessive adjectives (your) are su, sus (suya(s) , suyo(s)).

The fomal possessive pronoun (yours) would be el suyo, la suya, los suyos, las suyas

you, you all as a d.o.p=lo, la, los, las

you. you all formal as an i.o.p =le, les

The reflexive pronoun for you, you all formal = se
