Frequently Asked Questions

Does 'perderás' also mean 'you will get lost'?

Almost! To say 'you will get lost', you must add the word 'te' in front: 'te perderás'. Without 'te', it just means you are losing an object or a game.

Is this the polite or friendly way to say 'you'?

This is the friendly/informal version (tú). If you wanted to be formal (usted), you would say 'perderá' without the 's'.
