Hi Jim,

The use of vos (known as el voseo) is indeed very popular in Costa Rica. Here is a link that'll help you solidify its use (the Ticos use the 'General' form).

You'll read that vos is the singular form of the second person (not the plural), and that it replaces , also the singular form of the second person.

The plural form is ustedes (for both the second- and third-person form of 'you'), just like everywhere else in Latin America. In those countries, no one uses the second-person plural vosotros.

You'll also see that querés is the correct spelling of 'you want'. The spelling you provided is the one used for vosotros, and it is pronounced different.

¡Divertite!
