Cultural Tip
In most of Spain ‘teléfono’ is the default term, while in many Latin American countries people often say ‘celular’ or ‘móvil’. The imperative form Muéstralo is informal; for a formal request you would use ‘Muéstrelo en su teléfono’. Also, remember to keep the accent on muéstra‑ to avoid confusion with the non‑imperative form.
