How to Say "to convene" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “to convene” is “reunirse” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Nos reuniremos en el café a las tres.
We will meet at the cafe at three o'clock.
Siempre se reúnen para celebrar el Año Nuevo.
They always gather to celebrate New Year's.
¿Cuándo te vas a reunir con el jefe?
When are you going to meet with the boss?
The Reflexive Action
The '-se' at the end means the action reflects back onto the subject. If you use the verb 'reunir' (without -se), it means 'to gather something else,' but 'reunirse' means 'to gather yourselves together.'
The Special Accent
In the present tense (like 'yo me reúno'), the accent over the 'u' is essential. It forces the 'u' and 'i' to be pronounced separately (re-Ú-no), not as a quick glide.
Forgetting the Reflexive Pronoun
Mistake: “Yo reúno con mi familia.”
Correction: Yo ME reúno con mi familia. (You must include 'me, te, se, nos, os, se' before the verb, depending on who is meeting.)
