Siga O Sigue. Gira O Gire.

Question

I would like to know that how a native Spanish speaker from Spain will give directions to an elder person and a younger person, who are both strangers to him/her?

For example: Go straight and then turn left/right

Answer 1

Formal manner (or elder person): "Siga derecho y gire a su izquierda" Informally (younger person, friends, etc): "Seguí derecho y girá a tu izquierda"

What about the word "Sigue" - MaxMak, Jul 12, 2014

Las formas que das para "tú" son para "vos", ¿no? Estas formas no son normales sino en Argentina, ¿verdad? - Jubilado, Jul 12, 2014

There are two errors in this answer. It should be, Informally, "Sigue derecho y gira a tu izquierda." (Note "sigue" spelling and no accent on "gira".) Otherwise, looks good. - mattvd, Jul 13, 2014

Answer 2

Go here:

Translate girar

And under the definition you will note Conjugation after the word Dictionary. Click on that and you will see the various forms of the conjugated verb. Look for the heading Imperative and under it you will find the forms to use when you use "tú" with a person or when you use "usted (Ud.)" with a person. You can follow this pattern for all verbs. You can look up all verbs and conjugate them under the Menu Translate.
