Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 'conocemos' spelled with a 'c' but 'conozco' (I know) spelled with a 'z'?
The verb 'conocer' has a spelling change in the 'yo' form of the present tense (conozco) and throughout the present subjunctive (conozca, conozcamos, etc.). This change (c → zc) is just a quirk of Spanish spelling rules to maintain the correct sound before certain vowels.
Does 'conocemos' mean 'We meet' or 'We know'?
It can mean both! Its primary meaning is 'We know' or 'We are familiar with' (people, places, things). But it also means 'We are meeting' or 'We get to know' when referring to an introduction or the process of becoming acquainted.
