Usage notes

In Portugal and some parts of Brazil,você represents an intermediate degree of formality betweentu (familiar) ando senhor (very formal), where it is generally used in situations of little intimacy.
In most parts of Brazil (especially in the Southeast, with the exception of some cities),você has replacedtu as the informal second person singular pronoun, andtu is relegated to archaic, poetic and religious usages, much like the Englishthou. InRio Grande do Sul,Rio de Janeiro,Santa Catarina,Brasília and most Northeastern States,tu is used in very informal situations, though it usually uses the third-person singular conjugation of verbs, similar to many Spanish-speaking countries withvoseo.
teu,te, and to a lesser extentti andcontigo, are widely used alongsidevocê in Brazilian dialects that don’t usetu.
Its plural form,vós, is mostly archaic in modern Portuguese with the exception of some Northern Portuguese dialects.
Você andvocês, despite being 2nd-person pronouns, always take 3rd-person verbs.
