That is actually a good question. Smoothly ignoring age or being polite? (lemmy.world)

As I understand it, in Latin America, usted is very rarely used regardless of the relationships between people.

I live in colombia and hear it used every day. I ride bikes with my buddies and in the group I ride 3 of us use tu with each other and 3 different of us use usted. Simply because of how much we hang out.

You can't really consider latin america as a single block of spanish speakers. Every region is different.

Yep, every country is different. In Spain its more normal to use tú for everyone unless there's some explicit formality

Thanks for the information! I thought it was more uniform in the americas, and usted was mostly used in Europe. I guess I will just have to listen to the people around me and try to do what they do.
