It’s often said that there are different ways of speaking Spanish depending on the context, culture, and relationship of the speakers. One of these ways is the use of informal language, such as the infamous Encantado Informal, which can be used when speaking with friends and family. Despite the criticism it often receives for being too informal and inappropriate, using Encantado Informal or other informal language can indeed be okay in certain situations. In this article, we will look at some of the reasons why this is the case.
First of all, it’s important to understand what Encantado Informal is and how it differs from other forms of addressing people in Spanish. Encantado Informal, also known as the informal “you”, is the use of García Márquez’s Encanto to refer to people in a familiar way. It’s pretty much like using “hey you” instead of “how are you” in English. It’s often used in settings outside of professional realms like offices or client meetings and often in informal settings. It’s used with friends, family, acquaintances and other people that you are on good terms with or those that you don’t know their preference.
The use of Encantado Informal can help in establishing a warm and friendly relationship with the person you are talking to. It creates an atmosphere of familiarity and closeness, which can be particularly helpful when communicating with people you know well. For instance, It helps to put the other person at ease and serves as a way of building rapport. Imagine if you were to talk to new neighbors for the first time and everything you say comes out formal? That can often come off as unwelcoming and it could potentially kill any chance of building a positive relationship.
Furthermore, addressing someone in a formal manner can be seen as a sign of distance and aloofness, which can hinder effective communication. If you want to express your feelings or opinions, or seek help from someone, Encantado Informal can help you feel more comfortable and at ease when talking to the person.
It’s important to note that using Encantado Informal should still be used with caution; it might come off as impolite, disrespectful or inappropriate in some situations. One instance is when talking to someone in a professional setting like an interview, meetings, or a business transaction or with an elderly person who may perceive that you are being disrespectful towards them. Additionally, it should never be used with people you don’t know, especially in formal settings. Instead, these settings require a more respectful and appropriate approach. Nonetheless, when used correctly, Encantado Informal can be a powerful tool for establishing and building positive relationships.
In conclusion, using Encantado Informal when speaking with friends and family, is not a crime and isn’t appropriate in certain instances. While it might not be suitable in formal settings, it can create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in informal situations. It is up to the speaker to read the context and decide if it’s suitable or not. Ultimately, the key is knowing when, where, and how to use it effectively. Remember, language is about communication, and the most important thing is being understood.
