Compare Galician vosoutros, Catalan vosaltres, Occitan vosautres, French vous autres, Italian voialtri, Sicilian vuiautri. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /boˈsotɾos/ [boˈso.t̪ɾos] Rhymes: -otɾos Syllabification: vo‧so‧tros === Pronoun === vosotros (feminine vosotras) (informal, mainland Spain, Ceuta, Melilla, Balearic Islands, Equatorial Guinea, Philippines, archaic in Latin America) you, you guys; second person plural personal pronoun Synonym: ustedes (the most common second-person plural pronoun in Latin America and the Canary Islands) ==== Usage notes ==== The informal use of this pronoun, along with its oblique form os, is confined to the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, and Spain (including all of Andalusia and speakers in the Canary Islands with relatives who speak mainland Spain dialects). Elsewhere in the Spanish-speaking world, it is found only in oratory, legal, and religious language. In western Andalusia and the Canary Islands, its associated verb forms may sometimes be used with ustedes (e.g. "ustedes estáis"). However, this is nonstandard, colloquial, and (in the case of Andalusia) more common in rural areas, but less common overall. Many speakers in the Canary Islands who by default use ustedes use both les and os and both conjugations ("están", and "estáis", but when the pronoun is present "ustedes están" is usually favored) due to influence from mainland Spain. In formal situations, or when speaking to speakers from mainland Spain, some Canarian speakers use vosotros and its conjugations instead of ustedes. === See also === === Further reading === “vosotros”, in Diccionario de la lengua española [Dictionary of the Spanish Language] (in Spanish), online version 23.8.1, Royal Spanish Academy [Spanish: Real Academia Española], 15 December 2025
