Merkblatt These phrases aim for broad usefulness. Use usted forms for the polite singular examples; tú forms for informal singular examples. Plural address varies: ustedes is used throughout Latin America and also formally in much of Spain; informal vosotros occurs in much of Spain. Billete/boleto, móvil/celular and camarero/mesero vary by place. The first term is not universally more correct.
Treat prices and service details in older lessons as dialogue examples. Confirm current information with the person serving you. Keep a written address or booking name available so you can ask for it to be checked.
