Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'casar' and 'casarse'?

'Casar' (without the 'se') means 'to marry someone else' (like a priest or judge does). 'Casarse' (with the 'se') means 'to get married' (the couple marrying each other). Since 'casarnos' includes 'nos,' it means 'for us to get married.'

Can I use 'nos' before the verb instead of attaching it to the end?

Yes, absolutely! When you have two verbs together, you have two options for the pronoun placement. Both 'Queremos casarnos' and 'Nos queremos casar' are perfectly correct and mean 'We want to get married.'
