And what language and region is it?

I’ve noticed my language teacher uses the informal you in one language and the formal one in the other.

    Traditional spanish has a formal you (usted/ustedes), however Argentinian Spanish, which is the version that I’m most familiar with mostly uses vos instead of usted and tu, and doesn’t typically differentiate between formal and informal

      Also in traditional Spanish, the formal you (usted/ustedes) goes with the verb in the third person conjugation. I mention it because pronouns are often skipped.
