What Spanish copy expects.
- Register
- Most Spanish online shops use the informal tú; usted is kept for formal sectors. We write Spanish for Spain, with vosotros for the plural, unless you tell us otherwise.
- Numbers
- Decimal comma, full stop for thousands. Four-digit numbers are often written without a separator. The euro sign follows the amount.
- Dates
- Day, month, year with slashes: 24/12/2026. Times on the 24-hour clock.
- VAT
- IVA. Standard rate 21 %. The Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla are outside the EU VAT area; plan their shipping and taxes separately.
- Sizes
- EU clothing and shoe sizes, close to the French scale. Metric units only.
- Typography
- Questions and exclamations open with ¿ and ¡. Vocabulary follows Spain: móvil, ordenador, zapatillas.
