Why Aren’t Those Names Translated?

You might have noticed that we didn’t provide a fully-English equivalent for some words above. In English, we often use loanwords to talk about foods and culture. What’s a loanword? A loanword (préstamo lingüístico) is a word that is taken from one language and used by another, often with adaptations.

Spanish	English
vos	you

Vos: Another Way to Say You

Vos is one of the five ways to say you in Spanish. It is mainly used in a region of South America called the Southern Cone, which is made up of Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and parts of Chile. It is also used in almost all other Latin American countries, depending on the region.

Vos is an informal second-person singular subject pronoun that is equivalent to tú.

After prepositions, vos can be used to replace ti.

Vos sounds like just a shortened version of vosotros, but they are completely different.

Simple Future

While the simple future is most often used to talk about what a person will do, it can also be used to talk about conjecture, possibilities, and probabilities in the present, make predictions about the future, and give solemn commands.

To conjugate regular verbs in the simple future tense, simply add the correct ending to the infinitive of the verb. All verb conjugations (-ar, -er, and -ir) have the same endings in the simple future tense, and we add these endings to irregular stems as well.
