In Spanish, there are two possible "you's" that one can use. There is one for a friend, tú, and one for a person who deserves respect, Usted.
Below are a list of questions using tú and Usted:
When speaking to a friend, one can use informal questions with them, such as ¿De donde eres tú?
If this is a person of respect, one must say, ¿De donde es usted?.
BOTH PHRASES MEAN THE SAME THING; THEY ARE SIMPLY BEING ADDRESSED TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE!!!
*Also, it should be noted that if you yourself are a person of respect, and you speak to another person of respect, you both refer to each other with Usted.
In life, you cannot address someone who deserves respect as tú, as it would be very disrespectful. It is very important to note that friends must always be referred to with tú, and people of respect with Usted.
