What is the difference between formal and informal in spanish?
The difference is when using the informal form of speaking or writing in spanish, you use the Tú form. For example, you would use this mostly when you are speaking with people you do know (friends, family, people you're age, younger children).When you are using the formal way, you use the Usted(Ud.) form. You would use this when speaking to people you don't know or people of high status I guess you could say. (Judge, police,president, older people. your boss etc). It is a sign of respect.Another thing is that, it varies from country to country in the Hispanic world. Some countries mostly use the Ud. form even when talking to friends and family. And some countries mostly use the Tú form.Now in Argentina and Uruguay, the majority parts of those two countries use the Vos form. I don't want to confuse you even more, but It's a good thing to know just in case you find yourself speaking with a person from there! But don't worry, they will understand you just fine if you use the Tú or Ud. forms.(Tener) (Comer) (Poder) (Jugar)Informal: Tú tienes Tú comes Tú puedes Tú juegasFormal: Ud. tiene Ud. Come Ud.
