'Amos' is the plural of 'amo'. Use it to refer to a group of men or a mixed group of men and women who own something.

Mistake: "Using 'amos' to mean 'we love'."

Correction: Say 'amamos' for 'we love'. 'Amos' only means owners or masters.

While 'amos' is correct, modern Spanish speakers often use 'dueños' when talking about owning objects or pets in everyday conversation.
