Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it 'das' and not 'dás' with an accent?

Great question! 'Das' is a one-syllable word. In Spanish, one-syllable words generally don't have an accent mark unless it's needed to tell it apart from another identical word (like 'tú' for 'you' vs. 'tu' for 'your'). Since there's no other 'das' to get confused with, it doesn't need an accent.

Is 'das' formal or informal?

'Das' is informal. You use it with the pronoun 'tú', which is for friends, family, and people your age. For someone you don't know, an older person, or in a professional setting, you would use the formal 'usted' form, which is 'da' (Usted da).
