Spanish Pronoun:Vos (in America)

Pronunciation:Vohs

Translation:You

Function:Pronoun

In the so-called ‘zona rioplatense’ of Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina, very close people ara addressed using ‘vos’ instead of ‘tú’

The associated verb conjugations change from one country to another, and they follow “rules” not found anywhere else, so ‘vos sabés’ [you know] is from Buenos Aires and ‘vos sabes’ is used in the rest of Argentina.

Example:¡Ya te dije que me dejés en paz!

Translation:I’ve told you to leave me alone!
