Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 'unidos' and 'juntos'?

'Juntos' usually just means 'together' in the same physical space. 'Unidos' implies a deeper connection—a shared purpose, feeling, or bond. A group can be 'juntos' for a meeting, but a family is 'unida' by love.

If 'unidos' means 'united', why is it plural in 'Estados Unidos'?

Because it's describing the 'Estados' (States). Since there are multiple states, the word describing them must also be plural. It literally means 'United States'.
