Present tense voseo(Chile) of certain verbs-Caminái, traí(s), vivís. Past tense voseo(Chile)-caminaibai, traíai, vivíai. Conditional tense of voseo(Chile)-caminaríai, traeríai, viviríai. Present subjuctive voseo(Chile)-caminís, traigái, vivái. Past subjunctive of voseo(Chile)-caminarai, trajerai, vivierai. These verbs are used in Chile. Does anybody know if there formal or informal? Does anybody have anything to add or anymore information that is useful? Do you put ''tú'' infront of them or do you put ''vos'' infront of them?

What are Chilean verbs? - ian-hill, Jun 18, 2014
Does anybody know if "they're" formal or ......... - ian-hill, Jun 18, 2014
This is an eclectic question, but I hope that there is some feedback by native speakers. To date my knowledge of this is that it is used in Argentina and that it is a form of the 2nd person singular, and that the pronoun in "vos". - Jubilado, Jun 18, 2014
I think you saw the "vos" thread already, no? - rac1, Jun 18, 2014
This question has already been adequately covered as well you know , your question is obsolete and trivial . - ray76, Jun 18, 2014

General voseo is what you guys are talking about. This is Chile voseo(Chile voseo is slang) - Reid13, Jun 18, 2014
Ian they are very informal - Reid13, Jun 18, 2014
If you guys learned what Benz said you would know that this is a different ''voseo'' it is used in Chile. - Reid13, Jun 18, 2014

Dark blue: countries that use vos as the primary spoken and written form.

Medium blue: countries where voseo is predominant, yet not as intensive.

Light blue: countries where the use of voseo is regional.

This thread by Benz in 2010 is a very helpful one. Voseo is used in many countries including Chile.

That's really messed up. I tell you.

Don;t get into that, because it is distorting the Castlian language.
