Apr 27, 2017 at 15:54 comment added user0721090601 vosotros (plural, informal) isn't, but vos (singular, informal) is.
Apr 27, 2017 at 15:52 comment added WBT @guifa Is vosotros used in those places? I thought it was generally not.
Apr 27, 2017 at 15:46 comment added user0721090601 Note that the conjugations for vos similarly don't necessary follow the rules. The endings can range from -ás (Rioplatense), -és (Col. Ven. and much of C. Am.), -í(s) (Chile and Ecuador), and even -éi(s) (Cuba and a few other places). In generally, though, the only conjugation for vos with haber tends to be these days has although historically you could find other ones and probably older people still use them.
