/HOON-toh//ˈxun.to/

It Must Match!

Like many describing words in Spanish, 'junto' has to change to match the person or thing it's talking about. Use 'junto' for one masculine thing, 'junta' for one feminine thing, 'juntos' for a group of masculine or mixed things, and 'juntas' for a group of feminine things.

Forgetting to Make it Plural

Mistake: “Mis amigos y yo vamos al parque junto.”

Correction: Mis amigos y yo vamos al parque juntos. Since 'mis amigos y yo' is a group of people, you need the plural form 'juntos'.

unidos

/oo-NEE-dohs//uˈnidos/

AdjectiveA2General
Use 'unidos' to describe a state of being joined, connected, or in close relationship, often referring to groups, nations, or abstract bonds.
Three figures of diverse appearance standing shoulder to shoulder, linking arms firmly across their backs, symbolizing unity and togetherness.

Examples

Los Estados Unidos es un país muy diverso.

The United States is a very diverse country.

Debemos permanecer unidos para superar este problema.

We must remain united to overcome this problem.

Los dos cables deben estar unidos para que funcione.

The two cables must be joined for it to work.

An Adjective that Must Match

In Spanish, words that describe things (adjectives) have to match them in gender and number. 'Unidos' is used for groups of masculine things or mixed-gender groups. For a group of all-feminine things, you'd use 'unidas'.

From a Verb to a Description

'Unidos' comes from the verb 'unir' (to unite). Think of it as the result of that action. If you 'unir' two things, they become 'unidos'.

Forgetting to Match the Noun

Mistake: “Las dos hermanas siempre están unidos.”

Correction: Las dos hermanas siempre están unidas. Because 'hermanas' (sisters) is a feminine group, the describing word must also be the feminine form, 'unidas'.

reunido

reh-oo-NEE-doh/re.uˈni.ðo/

AdjectiveB1Formal/General
Use 'reunido' when people are gathered or assembled in one place for a specific purpose, such as a meeting or a formal assembly.
A small group of five diverse people standing close together in a park, representing a group that is gathered.

Examples

Todo el personal estaba reunido en la sala de conferencias.

All the staff was gathered in the conference room.

Al final de la película, la familia estaba reunida otra vez.

At the end of the movie, the family was together again.

La junta directiva se mantiene reunida hasta tener una solución.

The board of directors remains assembled until they have a solution.

Agreement is Key

As an adjective, 'reunido' must change its ending to match the thing it describes. Use 'reunida' for feminine singular nouns (la gente reunida) and 'reunidos' or 'reunidas' for plural nouns.

Choosing Between 'Junto' and 'Reunido'

Learners often confuse 'junto' and 'reunido'. Remember that 'junto' implies being alongside or doing something together with others, while 'reunido' specifically means being assembled or gathered for a meeting or event.
