Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I sometimes hear people say 'Vamos' instead of 'Vámonos'?
Both are used to suggest going, but they have a subtle difference. '¡Vamos!' usually means 'Let's go!' but can also mean 'Come on!' (to encourage). '¡Vámonos!' is specifically used to mean 'Let's leave this place' or 'Let's get moving' and is often more emphatic about departure.
Is 'vámonos' informal or formal?
It is completely neutral and appropriate for almost any situation, though it is most commonly used in casual, everyday conversation.
