SPANISH MINDSET

In Spanish we have something called “Pronombres Personales” which are subject pronouns in English language.  In Spanish we have seven subject pronouns, plus their feminine version in some pronouns:

We use “Tú” with people we know, friends, family, acquaintances,etc.

We use “Usted” if we want to sound formal, for example: with people we do not know, older people, professionals, doctors, etc. If we want to sound formal, with people we do not know, older people, professionals, doctors, etc. “Usted” is the best option. Although, remember that “Usted” is used just in these specific situations.

Another important point is that you have to deem whether “Usted” is formal or not in the country that you are. Some countries in Latin America use “Usted” as casual, and “Tú” as formal.

Tú eres un estudiante de español.
You are a student of Spanish.

¿Usted es mi doctor?
Are you mi doctor? (you formal)

• “Nosotras” means “we” but just for a group of women.
• “Nosotros” means “we” for a group of men or a group of men and women. If there are five women or even more, but there is still only one man, then it is still “Nosotros”.

Nosotros somos buenos en el futbol.
We are good at football. (Masculine / general plural)

Nosotras somos buenas cantando.
We are good at singing. (Femenine)

• “Ellas” means “they” but just for a group of women.
• “Ellos” means “they” for a group of men or a group of men and women. If there are five women or even more, but there is still only one man, then it is still “Ellos”.

Ellos son italianos.
They are italian. (Masculine / general plural)

Ellas son maestras.
They are teachers. (Femenine)

• “Ustedes” refers to “you” plural, that is to say, it means “You all, You all guys”. It is only used in Latin America.
