Is this vosotros?

This is from the fuan on the movie Pans Labyrinth.
sois vos... habeis regresado.

Are you sure?

Eres tú. Has regresado.
Es usted. Ha regresado.

"Sois vos" is a very old-fashioned and formal singular second person.

A lot of the things that the faun said was like that. I have not seen a lot of the words he uses. Like Habeís... what is that?

Habéis is the second-person plural (vosotros) form of haber, used as an auxiliary verb to form the present perfect tense.

Only Spain uses vosotros in everyday conversation. Elsewhere you would use ustedes instead.

But you have to understand it, else you won't be able to enjoy Spanish movies. Or should I say Spaniard?

But this is missing the point, because the person actually used wasn't vosotros but vos (in the old-fashioned form rather than the various modern Latin American voseos), which no-one uses in everyday conversation.

@Pjt: I think Rusty wanted to correct Crotalito's wrong statement to avoid confusing Spanish learners.

I have never heard vosotros in Tenerife, nor on Tenerife television. I have only ever heard Ustedes

And seeing that they never pronounce 'd' nor 's' in the middle of a word, and never at the end, it sounds like Ut-e-e.

Thanks, Perikles! I think it's cool that you even saw this post, LOL!

So, if they DID say "vosotros", it would be more like "vo-otros"?

more like vo-o-tro. They never pronounce the endings of words, and seldom pronounce the middles, so they sound like somebody with a speech defect and a mouth full of ping-pong balls.
