Adding the subject pronoun *tú* is redundant in Spanish and can sound overly emphatic in casual conversation.

Cultural Tip
‘Forever’ stamps were introduced by the United States Postal Service in 2007. They are popular because the price you pay today will cover any future first‑class letter, even if postage rates rise. In Spanish‑speaking countries the term is often kept in English, especially among collectors, so using the quotation marks signals that you are referring to the specific product, not just any stamp.
