Vosotros/Vosotras Use In Spain

Question

Is vosotros/vosotras used all over Spain now, or is it still not used in the south of Spain?

It's the second person plural, used all over Spain. - annierats, Apr 4, 2013

Answer 1

I do know that in some parts of Spain, especially more towards the west in the southern autonomous community of Andalusia, the use of vosotros is replaced by ustedes. This also occurs in the Canary Islands. Not only that, the famous Spanish "lisp" isn't really spoken by Andalusian Spanish speakers or Canarian Spanish speakers. Another fun fact, those from Southern Spain are known to drop the "S" sound if it at the end of a syllable. "La misma" becomes "la mima."

A lot of people assume that Spain is just this melting pot that all speak the same type of Spanish. That is simply not true. There are also many other languages spoken in and originating from Spain. It's a country with a lot of disparity.

Good answer, but I think diversity would be a better word at the end rather than disparity. - Jubilado, Apr 5, 2013

Answer 2

I think it's just used in spain, as "yours", but not in south american countries

For English learners: Spain, South American. - Jubilado, Apr 5, 2013

Answer 3

I agree with modrak, and murgas

Another way of agreeing with them is to just "vote" for their answers ;-) - BigMike, Apr 4, 2013
