💡 Grammar Points
The 'nos' Ending
The 'nos' attached to the end of the word means 'us' or 'each other.' It is used here because the action is happening between two or more people.
Using it with other verbs
You'll often see 'conocernos' after verbs that express desire or plans, like 'Queremos conocernos' (We want to get to know each other).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Saber vs. Conocer
Mistake: "Using 'sabernos' to mean meeting people."
Correction: Use 'conocernos' for people and places. 'Saber' is only for facts or information.
Placement of 'nos'
Mistake: "Saying 'conocernos nosotros queremos'."
Correction: The 'nos' can go at the end of the action word (conocernos) or before the helping verb (nos queremos conocer).
⭐ Usage Tips
Social Success
Use 'conocernos' when you want to suggest hanging out more with a new group of friends—it sounds very natural and friendly.

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'.
