Did you know?
- In some Spanish-speaking business cultures, failing to use these polite phrases can be seen as a lack of 'educación', which refers to one's social manners rather than formal schooling.
- If you use the variation mantenerme al corriente, you are literally saying 'keep me in the current', using a water-based metaphor to mean staying updated.
- In professional Spanish correspondence, it is common to use the plural nos in mantenernos informados even if only one person is being informed, to sound more formal or representative of a team.
