Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 'aman' and 'quieren'?
Both relate to 'love,' but 'amar' (aman) implies deep, profound love (romantic love, love for family, love for a country). 'Querer' (quieren) is generally less intense, often meaning 'to want' or 'to like/care for' (e.g., loving a friend or wanting an object).
If I am talking to a group of friends in Spain, should I use 'aman'?
No. In Spain, when addressing a group informally ('you all'), you would use the 'vosotros' form, which is 'amáis'. 'Aman' is reserved for 'they' (ellos/ellas) or the formal 'you all' (ustedes), used in most of Latin America.
