The
use
of
vos
as
the
second-person
pronoun,
a
usage
known
as
the
voseo
, is
common
to
nearly
the
whole
of
Argentina.
Though
you
will
be
understood
perfectly
if
you
use
the
tú
form,
you
should
familiarize
yourself
with
the
vos
form,
if
only
in
order
to
understand
what
is
being
said
to
you.
Present-tense
verb
endings
employed
with
vos
correspond
approximately
to
those
used
in
European
Spanish
for
the
vosotros
form.
Thus,
European
tú
vienes
(you
come)
becomes
Argentinian
vos
venís
.
Imperative
forms
are
again
derived
from
vosotros
,
though
without
the
final
"d":
European
ven!
("come
here!")
becomes
Argentinian
vení!
Past,
conditional,
subjunctive
and
future
forms
used
with
vos
are
the
same
as
the
European
tú
forms.
