Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'amen' the same as 'amén'?
No. 'Amén' (with an accent) is the religious word meaning 'so be it.' 'Amen' (without an accent) is a form of the verb 'amar' meaning 'they/you all love' in specific contexts like wishes.
When do I use 'amen' instead of 'aman'?
Use 'aman' for facts (They love). Use 'amen' for things that aren't facts yet, like wishes (I hope they love) or commands (Love each other!).
