Topic: Voseo

	Voseo - Psychology Central
		Voseo is the use of the second person singular pronoun vos in several dialects of Spanish, instead of tú, which is often considered the standard.
		In El Salvador, the comics in the newspapers employ voseo, but it is hardly ever found in the narrative parts of articles, but may be found in quotations of people.
		Voseo was long considered a reprehensible practice by prescriptionist grammarians (with the idea that only Castilian Spanish is good Spanish), but it is now regarded simply as a local variant.

		The use of vos instead of tú is called voseo.
		In Argentina and Uruguay it is the standard form of the informal second person singular, and is used by all to address others in all kinds of contexts, often regardless of social status or age, including by cultivated speakers and writers, in television, publicity, and even in translations from other languages.
		The term voseo also applies when a pronoun other than Vos is used but the verb immediately following is nonetheless conjugated according to the norms of Vos: hence "Tú subís, Tú decís, Tú querés" is still considered voseo.

		The "voseo" is only one of the many things that distinguishes Rioplatense Spanish from other variations (a word more politically correct than "dialects").
		I would also like to add that the "voseo" as well as the "yeism" (which is really more of an "sh" sound for the "ll" (elle)used to be widely used (and probably still is)in Ecuador.
		Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2000 16:09:41 -0600 The "voseo" (with an S) is used not just in Argentina (actually, it's not used by all Argentineans), but also in parts of Uruguay, Paraguay, Central America and by some people in Medellin, Colombia.

		I am also aware of the usage of 'vos' in Central America (in a phenomenon known as "voseo", where the usual "tú" is displaced by "vos").
		That is to say, it seems that in Argentina the use of «vos» is not limited to rural areas; it is rather widespread, and people from all social levels use it.
		Contrary to what the Central Americans do, who will abandon it outside their natives countries, the Argentinians will keep their «voseo» and happily show it to the world anywhere they find themselves.

	CHAMPS-ELYSEES AUDIOMAGAZINES: Discussion Forums
		You'll find my note on this phenomenon in Section 8.3 of the Glossary, where you'll see that the "voseo" is actually more widespread than you have been told, though this form of singular familiar direct address is certainly most widespread in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
		I suppose these stories get started because the real reasons behind such linguistic phenomena are exceedingly difficult to summarize in any immediately satisfying way and because, in some cases (like the "voseo"), you'd need a thorough grounding in historical linguistics to grasp what sorts of processes were actually happening, and where, and when.
		But because the New World was discovered and colonized by Castilian-speaking explorers BEFORE the "usted"-shift took place, the "voseo" spread widely throughout those territories, where it is used today with a variant of an historically PLURAL verb form (tenés, querés, hablás, etc.) though it is meant to address only ONE person [cf.

		It appears as a formal or disrespectfully familiar use in the works of the Spanish Golden Century and period works placed in that era.

		Spanish in the Río de la Plata region differs from that of Spain and the rest of the Americas, most notably in the familiar form of the second person singular pronoun.
		Instead of the tuteo used everywhere else, Argentines, Uruguayans and Paraguayans commonly use the voseo, a relict 16 th-century form requiring slightly different endings.
		Imperative forms also differ, but negative imperatives are identical in both the tuteo and the voseo.

		The use of vos as the second-person pronoun, a usage known as the voseo, is common to nearly the whole of Argentina.
		Though you will be understood perfectly if you use the tú form, you should familiarize yourself with the vos form, if only in order to understand what is being said to you.
		As well as the voseo and various different pronunciations, those who have learnt Spanish elsewhere (particularly in Spain) will need to become accustomed to some different vocabulary in Argentina.

		Vos, which in medieval Spanish had been used as a polite singular (just as Modern French vous), has taken over in many varieties as the generalised singular, colligating with inflections which are historically both singular and plural, sometimes even blends.
		`Voseo' is not a recent phenomenon; its roots must be sought in the colonial period, and recent archival research has revealed that it was well established in educated Buenos Aires usage by the beginning of the last century.
		So, there's the best answer I could get without killing myself through research (or actually spending any time at all).

		The Spanish spoken in the areas that border Guatemala are closer to Central American Spanish, where the voseo is common, (the southern state of Chiapas, for example, was originally part of the Audiencia of Guatemala and only became part of Mexico after the wars of colonial independence).
		Secondly, the waves of 19th and 20th century migration from Mexico to the United States have caused Mexican Spanish to become the most widely spoken variety of Spanish throughout the USA.
		Mexican Spanish is a tuteante form of the Spanish language, voseo being confined to some parts of the state of Chiapas, where the local Spanish rather belongs to the Central American region.

		I know that El Salvador and Honduras also have some "voseo," as well as Guatemala, but it is not the dominant way to speak.
		It's not that Nicaraguans are unapolegetic, but people here don't change their accents for us, so why should I pretend to speak another accent or way, when I am trying to represent Nicaragua.
		As to the "respect," part of "voseo," it's not really respect, it's more like "I know you, I feel comfortable around you, Your my friend, so instead of Robert I am going to call you Bobby." Voseo is trust and considering you one of our own.

		This is an interesting discussion that unfolded here and I was able to foresee it coming when I saw Miguel's comment that "vosotros" is used in six Latin American countries.
		This usage is called el voseo and it is defined in linguistic terms as "un rasgo de arcaísmo lingüístico".
		It is used characteristically with a simplified plural form such vos estabais (instead of vosotros estabais) or it is used to replaced the tú form for example vos estabas.

		I've heard "vinistes" or "comistes" in Colombia too except that if you say so in Colombia people will make fun of you and will possibly think that you're not a very educated person (I find it really mean)...
		If you take a look on the logic of the conjugation of voseo you will notice that it conjugates the same way "vosotros" does except that the final "i" is omitted so for example you say "vosotros tenéis" => "vos tenés", "vosotros coméis" => "vos comés".
		So maybe in the beginning when using voseo people used to say "vos tuvistes" and for some reason now people say "vos tuviste"...so if you say "tuvistes" you may say that you're using voseo in its original form!

		Tutear is called this way even in those dialects where the informal pronoun is vos.The use of vos instead of tú is called voseo.
		It is also used as the unofficial standard in the Department of Antioquia (Colombia), in Maracaibo (Venezuela), in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and the State of Chiapas in Mexico.A usage similar to voseo is vos with the verb in the grammatically plural form (as if it used vosotros).
		It appears as a formal or disrespectfully familiar use in the works of the Spanish Golden Century and period works placed in that era.In most of Colombia, tú is very rarely used and seen almost as offensive, so even close friends become usted.
