It's not generally used in Latin America, but in Spain it's the plural form of tu. In other words, if one is speaking to many friends, he would use vosotros instead of ustedes, due to a lack of formality.

Vosotros is only used in Spain and it is formal and informal. It means "you" in plural. The rest of Spanish speaker countries use "ustedes" instead of "vosotros". The Bible in Spanish uses this pronoun, too, because "vosotros" is old Spanish. An example would be the following: You are very good students Vosotros sóis muy buenos estudiantes (Spain) Ustedes son muy buenos estudiantes (all other countries) If you are learning Spanish and you are not planning to live in Spain, I would suggest you not to worry about studying the use of "vosotros". It will only get you confused because it's a quite different way to speak that language! Hope this helps! Good luck!

In almost all the latin american countries Ustedes is used instead of Vosotros. They have same meaning, but Vosotros is used only in Spain.

It is the way in which you address more than one person to whom you say "tú". Alternatively, it is the way in which you refer to the person you are addressing as "tú" when speaking about him and other people. For example, if you are asking what he and his family normally eat for breakfast or what he and his schoolmates do in class.
Vosotros is masculine, but if there were a crowd of people only one of whom was male, you would still address them collectively as "vosotros", as it is for masculine and mixed plurality. The feminine is "vosotras", which you use only when all the people being addressed/referred to are female.
From what I can make out, "vosotros" is confined to Spain and Nicaragua. Elsewhere in the Spanish speaking world they say "ustedes".
