I've been reading The Hobbit in Spanish. One thing that confuses me is that Bilbo and the dwarves keep using the vosotros forms, even when only speaking to one person. If you do read Spanish, do you have any idea why?

Anyone who reads any foreign language can sympathize with this next complaint. The poetry just does not lend itself to my English ear; the rhythm is completely unlike that of the original poem.

At the start
He was there
He was there
In the end
He’ll be there
He’ll be there
And after all
Our hands have wrought
He forgives

Oh, the glory of it all
Is He came here
For the rescue of us all
That we may live
For the glory of it all
Oh, the glory of it all

(from "The Glory of It All" by David Crowder *Band)

A teacher is called( 50 years ago) like plural, also adults who you don't know good. I am learning Spanish in my first year.
