which case it is usually OK to reciprocate

start using tú

 So you'll hear both 'e-yah' and 'e-jah'

 Review: Which pronoun would you use?

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/basic-spanish-lesson-3-personal-pronouns-i-you-he-she-they-and-more 24/36

 Did you notice? 

 María y tú -> Vosotras/os 

We put the right option as 'vosotras' or 'vosotros'  because 'tú' is informal 

Use of 'vosotros' or'vosotras' will depend on thegender of the group

 If it is all females we will use 'vosotras' , otherwisewe will use 'vosotros'

 Hence they are together referred toas'Ustedes'

Culture leaf 

 False friends, falsos amigos, are words

which look or sound similar in two different languages but actually mean something else

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/basic-spanish-lesson-3-personal-pronouns-i-you-he-she-they-and-more 32/36

Culture leaf 

 For example, if you’re embarrassed, youmay feel tempted to say embarazado (man) orembarazada (woman) because they sound so

similar to the word 'embarrassed'...

 However, that actually means I’m pregnant ,whichin the case of a man especially would make you an

instant scientific wonder!!☺ 

The right phrase to say is me da vergüenza
