Mammoth Memory

You – tú (informal) and usted (formal)

PRONUNCIATION

(Pronounced too and oo-stehd)

To remember that you is pronounced too or oo-stehd (tú/usted) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

I asked you to come to the cinema with me, but you brought your brother too (tú), who instead (usted) of letting us sit together, sat between us.

 I asked you to come to the cinema with me

Note: In South America, 'usted' isn't formal, it is the normal word for 'you'.
