🌍

文化的背景

In Spain, the use of 'tú' (and thus 'siéntate') is much more common even with people you've just met, compared to many Latin American countries. Mexican culture places a high value on formal politeness (formalidad). You are more likely to hear 'Siéntese' or 'Pase usted' even in relatively casual business encounters. In Argentina, the 'voseo' is used. Instead of 'siéntate', you will hear 'sentate' (no accent on the 'e', but stress on the 'a').

No, as long as you include 'por favor' and use it with friends or peers. Without 'por favor', it can sound like a command to a dog or a child.

In Spanish, reflexive pronouns are attached to the end of affirmative commands. Sentar + te = siéntate.

Only if you have a very close, informal relationship. Otherwise, use 'siéntese' or 'tome asiento'.

In Latin America, it's 'siéntense'. In Spain, it's 'sentaos' (informal) or 'siéntense' (formal).
