You've omitted all of the accent marks on words that need them. While they are often omitted in informal writing, it's better to use them appropriately in writing on this site. If you can't type accent marks from your keyboard, the formatting options at the top of every edit window on this site has an "Accents"drop-down list that lets you enter all of the special characters in Spanish.

Bonito/bonita = pretty, beautiful, good-looking, cute, attractive. As an adjective it agrees in gender and number with its noun. It can refer to people, other animals and things. Native speakers will have to confirm whether it is more often to describe women & girls than to men & boys. Quote:

¿y tú? (one person, familiar, understood everywhere) ¿y vos? (one person, familiar, used regionally in parts of Latin America) ¿y vosotros? (two or more people, familiar, used only in Spain) ¿y usted? (one person,formal polite, understood everywhere) ¿y ustedes? (two or more people, only plural form in Latin America and polite/formal in Spain, understood everywhere) There is a lot of regional variation with regard to how familiarly/politely one addresses other people. For now, if someone else addresses you using tú or vos, most likely you can address them the same way. Otherwise stick with using usted and ustedes until you gain enough experience to better judge when it is okay to use familiar forms. Quote:
The grammar section has a summary of subject pronouns. Quote:
¿Cómo te llamas? (subject = tú, subject pronoun usually omitted) ¿Cómo te llamás? (subject = vos, subject pronoun usually omitted) ¿Cómo os llamáis? (subject = vosotros, subject pronoun usually omitted) ¿Cómo se llama (usted)? (subject = usted, subject pronoun optional) ¿Cómo se llaman (ustedes?) (subject = ustedes, subject pronoun optional) Literally these questions mean "what are you called?" or "what do you call yourself/yourselves?". This is the most common way to ask someone's name. In the case of "como se llama(n)", using subject pronouns is more common, as these sentences can also mean "what is his/her name" or "what are their names". Quote:

Muy correcta y completa la respuesta y corrección. Como rioplatense me gustaría ampliar el uso de algunas palabras en estos lares. Con respecto a "guapo/guapa", aunque no es muy común su uso, se puede aplicar a las mujeres. En cambio, jamás lo usamos para un hombre, decimos "buen mozo". Guapo quiere decir valiente, corajudo. Con respecto a "bonita" lo usamos más para referirnos a criaturas. Es más común decir "linda" y si es muy linda, "hermosa".
