Spanish in Argentina

You are beautiful = Vos sos bella
You (girls/women) are beautiful = Ustedes son bellas

"Vos" is used in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, parts of Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela, most of Central America, and up to the southern state of Chiapas in Mexico.

The conjugation is quite easy. You just replace the -R ending of the infinitive and replace it with an -S + a tilde to the vowel before it.

cantar => cantás
poder => podés
venir => venís

The only exceptions are:
ser => sos (instead of *sés)
ir => vas (instead of *ís)

In Venezuela, the voseo verbs are conjugated like those of vosotros in Spain. So: vos cantáis, vos podéis, vos venís, vos sois, vos vais, etc.

Argentinian Spanish was influenced by the ugliest Italian dialects, Napolitan and Sicilian. It is a pity that it was not influenced by true Italian. At least this influence is small .

"ugliest" in your opinion.

A lot of famous Italian songs are in Neapolitan.

You're wrong, Italians in Argentina came from northern Italy and even if the y speak dialects, standard Italian comes along with them.

Two Spaniards (one Catalan) and an Italian sing "'O sole mio"

Not True. Northern Italians colonized Brazil, Souther Italians colonized Argentina.
