Yeah I know where it is. How come you speak Spain-Spanish if you're from Puerto Rico?

It's kinda funny how South American people use the formal form when speaking Spanish (referring to onexsoul's previous post) ^_^ it's hardly used at all in Spain.

lol well we do in a way. We are the Spanish-speaking country that's less in contact with foreign languages, that's why Mexican and all the originally Spanish-speaking cultures have developed their own dialect and sound kinda different nowadays and there's also a great deal more slang usage due to its contact with English. But I meant formal as in the way the pronouns are used. In Spain we say: ¿Cómo estás?, notice the S that makes it informal; in South America they'll say: ¿Cómo está?, and use the pronoun "usted" instead of "you"; we only do that when we're speaking in a high level of formality.

well we also use "como estas". we only use "como esta" for grownups, that means we have respect towards them.

actually that means exactly the same as nosotros.
it is just that in different countries we say it differently but we still understand each other.
