Questions & Answers about Vostè ja va reservar una taula o encara vol anar a un restaurant prop de l'estació?
Vostè is the formal singular you in Catalan, like usted in Spanish.
So this sentence is addressing someone politely or formally. A key point is that vostè takes third-person singular verb forms, not second-person forms. That is why you get:
- Vostè ... va reservar
- Vostè ... vol
not the forms you would use with tu.
A more informal version would be something like:
- Tu ja vas reservar una taula o encara vols anar a un restaurant prop de l'estació?
Capitalizing Vostè is a polite or traditional writing choice. In modern Catalan, you will often also see it written lowercase as vostè.
So both can appear, depending on style:
- Vostè
- vostè
The capitalization does not change the grammar or meaning; it just adds a formal written tone.
