Tu = you (singular) Vosotros = you (plural) how does that work out?

Never hear you (plural) form used. I think some refer to it as a proper/Spain kind of thing. Its forms are not only awkward, but how can I use it in the real world?

Read literature from Spain, talk/listen to a Spaniard, understand the etymology of words used in non-vosotros country. - 0074b507, Feb 15, 2011
Why do you find it awkward? I find using ustedes for both formal and infomal confusing. - 0074b507, Feb 15, 2011
Lol you are extremely well informed. Prob awkward cause the spanish I use is around El Salvadoreans - Source0, Feb 15, 2011

Do a search on this topic, I'm sure that much has been written on it.
Basically, vosotros is only used in Spain, ustedes is used elsewhere for both the formal and familiar 2nd person plurals
Welcome.

Vosotros is used in Spain to express the familiar You in the plural. Ustedes is used in Latin America for both the familiar and formal You in the plural and in Spain for the formal, plural You only.
