Formal or informal: I
Tú vs. Usted
In Spanish, there are two ways to address someone as you. There is a formal you, usted, and informal you, tú. Usted is used when you want to address someone with respect. Usted is often used with elders, professionals, people in positions of authority, or strangers. Tú is used with children, peers, and people with whom you are quite familiar. Some families use tú with parents and grandparents but others do not.
Some countries speak more formally or informally than others. Listen to people around you and use your instincts. Don’t worry if you do not use the best option with someone. They will know you are learning. Worst case scenario, someone might correct you. I have never known anyone to be offended by a learner.
