Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'juntos' and 'junto a'?
Great question! 'Juntos' means 'together', describing people or things that are with each other. 'Junto a' means 'next to' or 'beside', describing something's location relative to something else. For example, 'Estamos juntos en el parque' (We are together in the park) vs. 'Estoy junto a la ventana' (I am next to the window).
Can I always use 'juntos' for a mixed group of men and women?
Yes. In Spanish, if a group includes at least one male, you use the masculine plural form, 'juntos'. You only use 'juntas' if the group is made up entirely of females.
