if I were or was you — yo que tú, yo en tu lugar•
you there! — ¡oye, tú!YOU When translating you, even though you often need not use the pronoun itself, you will have to choose between using familiar tú/vosotros verb forms and the polite usted/ ustedes ones. ► In Spain, use tú and the plural vosotros/ vosotras with anyone you call by their first name, with children and younger adults. Use usted/ ustedes with people who are older than you, those in authority and in formal contexts. ► In Latin America usage varies depending on the country and in some places only the usted forms are used. Where the tú form does exist, only use it with people you know very well. In other areas vos, used with verb forms that are similar to the vosotros ones, often replaces tú. This is standard in Argentina and certain Central American countries while in other countries it is considered substandard. Use ustedes for all cases of you in the plural.
