Regional Variations in Command Forms (e.g., Voseo Commands)

Some regions, particularly in parts of Latin America, use “voseo” which affects command forms:

  • Standard “tú” command: “Habla” (Speak)
  • Voseo command: “Hablá” (Speak)

It’s important to be aware of these regional differences when using or encountering commands in different Spanish-speaking areas.
