Right, nice work. However, may be easier if you sort the lines into six. For that, in modern spanish, we use the @ to mean male/female. So, how about:

-AR infinitivos such as bailar, volar, amar
yo -o

tú -as
él/ella/Ud. -a
nosotr@s -amos
vosotr@s -ais (this one, the pl 'you people', was not on your original list)
ell@s /uds -an

Huh? we don't use @s.
as for vosotros and vosotras, we don't learn them in Spanish class. we don't use them

I don't understand you. you said that you use the @ instead of A, mmm I'm sorry by telling you this but it's not correct in the grammar.

Jessica October 19, 2008 06:45 PM

I agree with you, CrOtALiTo. We don't use the @.

ElDanés October 19, 2008 10:59 PM

The @ looks like an O, with an A inside. It's to show that they both have a masculine and a feminine form.

ellos y ellas.
nosotros y nosotras.
vosotros y vosotras.

It's just more comfortable for your grammar notes, guys, besides, it is what Spanish teenagers (and learners in general) do here.

I think it looks cool :)

Jessica October 20, 2008 05:19 AM

well I don't use it...

ElDanés October 20, 2008 06:00 AM

I have also never used it, or thought about doing so, but it looks pretty good, maybe it would be worth using. It would at least spare some time.

geeper October 20, 2008 11:53 AM

Hmmm...using @ for o/a is a good idea - thanks.

Rusty October 20, 2008 12:37 PM

It's certainly used. I found hundreds of thousands such uses on the Internet.
I would say it's safe to use it as a learning or teaching tool. We all know that only one or the other vowel should be used when speaking and officially writing in Spanish.

Jessica October 20, 2008 01:36 PM

okay, it's useful, but we can't use it in my Spanish class.

or at least we don't use it.

Ask your teacher about it, see if he/she has seen it used. :D

Jessica October 26, 2008 07:49 AM

All right I will, but I'm sure we won't use it.
