    Usted is still used in Spain, it’s just much rarer. You might see “usted está aquí” on a sign, for example, but I’ve never personally heard it used in speech.

    I learned it would only be for talking to someone of a higher class, like a butler might refer to their employer that way or a similar scenario where you would be explicitly formal.







  • I got Norovirus in 2021 with the worst timing, I was in the process of moving home. Basically couldn’t get help from friends because of covid restrictions and my partner at the time didn’t drive but the rental contract was up and couldn’t be changed.

    She helped a lot with the actual packing but we still had to load up and clean up the place, then drive multiple trips to/from the new place while I felt about as ill as I ever have. It was honestly one of the worst things I’ve ever had to do.
