Spanish questions?

Question

Would you use tu, used, ustedes, vosotros, or vosotras when talking to these people?

1. Maria y Lupe (Mexico)
2. Amalia y Jose (Espana)
3. La Sra. Sanchez (Rebulica Dominicana)
4. Paz, Mercedes y Marta (Espana)
5. Pepe (Ecuador)
6. el Sr. Fernandez y el Sr. Garcia (Espana)

Answer 1

Tú (Singular / informal / Most countries) = You
Usted (Singular / formal / Most Countries) = You formal (Something like old "Thou")
Ustedes (Plural / Formal AND Informal (It's the only form) / Most countries) = You (Many people) formal/informal

Vosotros (Plural / Formal AND Informal (It's the only form) / Spain ONLY) = You (Many People) formal/informal
Vosotras (Plural / Feminine ONLY (A group MUST be 100% girls) / Formal AND Informal (It's the only form) / Spain ONLY) = You (Many FEMALE people) formal/informal

1. María y Lupe (México) --> Ustedes (Plural in a country that is not Spain)
2. Amalia y José (España) --> Vosotros (Plural in Spain, mixed sex)
3. La Sra. Sanchez (Rep Dominicana) --> Usted (Singular, formal cause this person is being referred to with respect)
4. Paz, Mercedes y Marta (España) --> Vosotras (Plural in Spain, only female)
5. Pepe (Ecuador) --> Tú (Singular in every country)
6. El Sr. Fernández y el Sr. García (España) --> Vosotros (Plural in Spain)

Answer 2

Hi

I know that by asking you such question they want you to specify what pronouns are used in those nations... However, I think the question is not correclty formulated.. I mean, I always use the same pronouns regardless if I'm talking to an argentina or a spaniard or a mexican... I don't think my fellow spanish speakers change the pronouns they always use just because they are talking to a person from another country.


1 Ustedes
2- vosotros
3 Usted
4 Vosotas
5 This is a tough one... I don't know if ecuadorians use "usted" or "tu".. I know that in most latin american nations people use "tu" (though in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, etc they use "vos") however Ecuador borders Colombia...and as a colombian I know that us colombians use "usted" therefore I'm not sure if ecuadorians also use "usted"
6 vosotros

God bless you
