To say ‘Do you work today’ in Spanish, you would say, ‘¿Trabajas hoy?’. This is the casual form used when speaking to someone you are familiar with, such as a friend or a peer.
If you want to use a more formal approach, perhaps when speaking to someone older or in a professional context, you might say, ‘¿Trabaja usted hoy?’. The use of ‘usted’ shows respect.
Understanding the difference in formality is key in Spanish, as it emphasizes respect and the nature of your relationship with the person you are addressing. The word ‘trabajas’ is the second person singular form of the verb ‘trabajar,’ meaning ‘to work,’ and ‘hoy’ means ‘today.’
