Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'conocernos' one word or two?
In Spanish, it is written as one word. It is a combination of the action 'conocer' (to know) and the pronoun 'nos' (us/each other).
Can I say 'nos conocer' instead?
Not quite. If 'conocer' is the only verb, you must attach 'nos' to the end (conocernos). If there is a helper verb like 'querer' (to want), you can say 'nos queremos conocer' OR 'queremos conocernos'.
