How to Say "Is This You?" in Spanish

¿eres tú?

The Spanish phrase for "is this you?" is ¿eres tú?

This phrase is used to ask if a person is the specific individual being identified or referred to.

Which one should you use?

While English uses 'is this you?' or 'is it you?', Spanish uses the second-person singular eres tú to directly address the person as 'you are'.

Use the formal form ¿es usted? instead of ¿eres tú? when speaking to someone you do not know well, an elder or someone in a position of authority.

The word eres is a linguistic fossil that tells us about the future. It actually comes from the Latin future tense 'you will be' rather than the present tense 'you are'.
Depending on the country, a speaker might use ¿sos vos? instead of ¿eres tú? This is common in Argentina and Uruguay, where a different set of pronouns and verb forms is used.
In many Spanish-speaking regions, the pronoun tú is omitted entirely, leaving only ¿eres? to ask 'is it you?' The subject is understood through the verb ending alone.
