    Reminds me of a joke (in dialectual Finnish so it doesn’t translate perfectly) of “yhdistetty huli- ja pelikaani” (“a combination of a hooli- and a pelican”).

    I have no idea what the joke is, but I updoot anyway for the fancy Tucan Ustedcan.

    I finally grasped the concept by internally translating it as his/her Highness as in–“does her Highness want more tuna? Her Highness seems like she wants more tuna.”

    Is that the “you”-form they use in Spain but not America? Or am I mixing it up with Portuguese?

    Funny meme either way!

      in portuguese, portugal uses tu in the correct form, while brazil uses mostly você but some regions replace você directly with tu (which leads to using it wrong)

        I thought vosotros was an informal second person plural, like ihr in German, jullie in Dutch, or kind of like y’all in English. Not the formal second person singular+plural that many European languages have.
