I love your videos. They are very well made and easy to follow. What is another way to practice spanish? I wished there were shows in Spanish that had english subtitles so I could follow through. Do you know of any shows with english subtitles?

se = himself /herself / yourself => ¿Cómo se llama? = What does he call himself? / What does she call herself? / What do you call yourself?

@sharpknifesedge in italy we use that form too! we say "lei" to translate "she" and we use the same pronoun to translate the spanish form "usted" that literally doesn't exist in english... and "lei" is very used in italy!!

@tontitofrito Thanks for the fast reply.

OMG formal and informal speech are so confusing
-
@gdgdgd01 sí, es muy similar a como hablamos los "ticos"
de hecho cuando viajo a otros paises siempre me confunden con colombiana! hasta colombianos me confunden con ellos xDD

@lackiest1 no es solo de argentina..

mexico no esta en suramerica pero como sea ese no es el punto... tengo entendido q en Mexico solo se utiliza el "usted" para formalidades... eso creo D:! me corrigen si estoy equivocada xD
-
@lackiest1 entonces sí tienes razón, creo que debí confundirlo con "Vosotros" ¿no?

Do you really say "usted" that often? because in Italian you generally use just the conjugated verb, you don't say "Lei" all that often.

@sharpknifesedge No, it's generally understood with the verb..
¿Cómo está Usted? / ¿Cómo está? (would both be fine)

i think the word "usted" comes from the arabic "ustaz" which means "sir" or "mister". something i concluded just now

@BulletToothPikey
Actually it is a contraction of the two words:
"Vuestra merced" which was used to address royalty and meant "your grace". It was shortened over time to: "usted"
