Is it just me that finds it interesting that the familiar tú is used with regard to God? I would have thought that if ever there was an usted this would be the guy.

It is a common misconception that the use of usted just makes a sentence more polite. Actually, it serves to add distance between the speaker and the listener. This distance may be one of class, age, position, etc., and those differences often involve respect, but that isn't the only use of the usted form. I think the idea is that God is our father, to whom we usually tutear.

Also, remember that the word usted was originally a contraction of vuestra merced (which is why it can be further abbreviated as Vd.), or "your grace," which was used to people higher on the nobility ladder, which doesn't really apply to God, despite his title of King of Kings.

On other hand, I would not be surprised if Spanish speaking Muslims use usted in reference to God because Muslims view God as more transcendent. - BellaMargarita, MAR 30, 2010

Answer 4

It IS interesting, Steve. When the King James translation of the Bible was completed in 1611, which is the source of the Lord's Prayer that most are familiar with, the same 'Intimate' form was used. That's what 'thou,' 'thee,' 'thy,' and 'thine' were. - RicardoLG, MAR 1, 2010

Now that those forms have been lost in English, they seem poetic and special (formal) sounding to us. So, ironically, they were originally the familiar forms and have come to be used (sometimes still) as a form that we reserve for God. - RicardoLG, MAR 1, 2010
