English → Spanish

juntos

HOON-tohˈxun.to

adverbA2general
Use 'juntos' when people or things are physically with each other, often implying a shared activity or destination.
Two happy children, a boy and a girl, standing closely together and holding hands.

Examples

Vamos al cine juntos esta noche.

Let's go to the movies together tonight.

The two families live in houses that are joined together.

Por favor, envíame todos los archivos juntos en un solo correo.

Please, send me all the files together in a single email.

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'.

conjuntamente

kon-hoon-tah-MEN-tehkonxuntaˈmente

adverbB1formal
Use 'conjuntamente' to describe actions performed collaboratively or as a unified group effort.
A group of cheerful children holding hands in a circle in a green park.

Examples

Los dos equipos trabajaron conjuntamente para terminar a tiempo.

The two teams worked together to finish on time.

El plan fue desarrollado conjuntamente por el gobierno y las empresas.

The plan was developed jointly by the government and the companies.

Debemos actuar conjuntamente para resolver este problema global.

We must act in conjunction with one another to solve this global problem.

The '-mente' Rule

In Spanish, adding '-mente' to the end of a feminine adjective is like adding '-ly' in English. It tells you how an action is being done.

Word Placement

You can place this word after the action verb (e.g., 'trabajamos conjuntamente') to emphasize the way you are working.

Using 'conjuntamente' when you mean 'juntos'

Mistake: “Mis amigos y yo fuimos conjuntamente al cine.”

Correction: Mis amigos y yo fuimos juntos al cine. (Use 'juntos' for simple social activities; 'conjuntamente' sounds very professional or formal, like a business merger!)

reunidos

reh-oo-NEE-dohre.uˈni.ðo

adjectiveB1general
Use 'reunidos' when referring to people who have gathered or are assembled in one place, typically for a meeting or event.
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.

unidos

oo-NEE-dohsuˈnidos

adjectiveA2general
Use 'unidos' to describe a state of being joined, connected, or closely allied, often with a sense of solidarity.
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'.

Juntos vs. Conjuntamente

The most common mistake is using 'conjuntamente' when 'juntos' would be more natural. 'Conjuntamente' implies a formal, organized collaboration, while 'juntos' simply means being with someone or doing something side-by-side.
